Synopses & Reviews
A down to earth and biblical guide to the Christian life. While "spirituality" is all the rage today, most of what passes for spirituality has little to do with real biblical faith. This needed volume explores the meaning of a truly "biblical spirituality, " one that has its roots both in the Scriptures and in the Christian's daily experience of life with God. Writing to promote genuine discipleship and an everyday sense of God's presence, R. Paul Stevens and Michael Green show that biblical spiritual is based on down-to-earth principles meant simply to foster godliness--at home, at work, wherever you are. This book gently lead readers through the Old and New Testaments, tracing the "story" of God that includes within it each and every person. In canvassing the Scriptures, Stevens and Green introduce important figures who discovered their place in God's great story, and they reflect on the nature of the Trinity, whose holiness provides the meaning for true human existence. Filled with biblical wisdom and pleasure to read, Living the Story is a winsome invitation to follow God wholeheartedly, and in every dimension of life.
