Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for
specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing
needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible
differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our
needs, allowed it to transform us?
That's exactly the idea behind Life with God, Richard J.
Foster's much-anticipated book on the Bible. Foster, bestselling
author of Celebration of Discipline and general editor of The
Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible, claims that God has
superintended the writing of Scripture so that it serves as the
most reliable guide for Christian spiritual formation. According to
Foster, the Bible is all about human life "with God." As we read
Scripture, we should consider how exactly God is with us in each
story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. By opening
our whole selves--mind, body, spirit, thoughts, behavior, and
will--to the page before us, we begin to grasp all the Bible has to
teach about prayer, obedience, compassion, virtue, and grace and
apply it to our everyday lives to achieve a deeper relationship
with God.
With a wealth of examples and simple yet crucial insights, Life
with God is an indispensable guide to approaching the Bible through
the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading
the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor
than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary
appreciation, or religious instruction.
