The Life with God Bible combines the depth of a study Bible with
the warmth of a devotional Bible, offering a new way to discover
the full riches of the Scriptures. According to Richard Foster,
bestselling author and the project′s editor, the Bible is all about
human life "with God." As we read Scripture, we should consider how
God is with us in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually
transformed.
Many people are looking for a new way to read the Bible, not as
a text to be mastered. but as a story to enter into and a lifestyle
to pursue. This unique Bible, previously published as The Renovare
Spiritual Formation Bible and spearheaded by bestselling authors
Richard Foster (Celebration of Discipline) and Dallas Willard (The
Divine Conspiracy), introduces the concept of life with God - or
the "with-God life" - a model for seeing the whole of Scripture as
the unfolding story of God′s plan for our loving relationship with
the Creator. This central theme weaves throughout the essays,
introductions, notes, and exercises, powerfully revealing how God
is present to his people today and throughout history.
Yet our relationship with God should not be passive. Concrete
practices - Spiritual Disciplines - have been used throughout
church history to guide disciples of Jesus. This Bible integrates
the Spiritual Disciplines into the Christian life by showing how
they are central to the Bible′s teachings and stories. Abraham and
Ruth, Moses and Deborah, Jesus and the disciples all provide
amazing examples of the life-changing power of prayer, worship,
fasting, celebration, and many other Spiritual Disciplines.
Scripture thus becomes a primary means for the discovery,
instruction, and practice of these disciplines as well as a tool
for spiritual formation.
Combining the highest possible biblical scholarship with the
deepest possible heart devotion, this new Bible project seeks to
nourish inner transformation by unlocking and revealing the
profound resources within Scripture for changing our hearts and
characters and bringing them in line with what God wants for our
lives. The Life with God Bible will redefine what the Bible means
for Christian discipleship.
