Discovering simplicity is a lifelong process. But this biblical tradition is difficult to put into practice in our hectic world. With compassion, understanding, and deep knowledge of the Scriptures, Richard J. Foster reminds all of us how we can change our lives and world for the better by learning to live in harmony with the rich complexity of life, and by rediscovering the simplicity of prayer, solitude and all the ancient Christian Disciplines.
In this warm and inviting guide to creating a more human style of living, Foster guides us on the simple path toward finding God by learning to listen, to give, to understand, to show compassion, and to accept what we already have.
Written in the same warm, accessible style as Richard Foster's best-selling Celebration of Discipline, Freedom of Simplicity articulates a creative, more human style of living and points the way for Christians to make their lives "models of simplicity." Foster provides a way to rethink our priorities and to "seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness." He shows us how to live in harmony with the rich complexity of life while stressing the relation of simplicity to prayer, solitude, and all the Christian Disciplines.
Richard J. Foster is the author of several bestselling books, including Celebration of Discipline, Streams of Living Water, and Prayer, which was Christianity Today's Book of the Year and the winner of the Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. He is the founder of RenovarÉ, an intrachurch movement committed to the renewal of the Church in all her multifaceted expressions, and the editor of The RenovarÉ Spiritual Formation Bible.
