A Year with God
Living Out the Spiritual Disciplines
by Richard J. Foster, Julia L. Roller
A Year with God, the latest presentation from award-winning author and Renovaré founder Richard Foster, offers a daily practice designed to increase the practitioner’s personal connection with God through the exploration of the 18 spiritual disciplines previously described in Foster’s best-selling book, Celebration of Discipline, and Dallas Willard’s The Spirit of the Disciplines. Drawing from The Life with God Bible (which Foster himself edited), and following in the tradition of writers such as N.T. Wright, Eugene Peterson, and Brennan Manning, A Year with God presents 365 selections of Scripture, commentary, meditations, and daily exercises from the foremost names in Christian spirituality.
