Streams of Living Water

Essential Practices from Six Great Traditions

« ’I recommend Streams of Living Water everywhere I go. My own personal copy is dog-eared, underlined and annotated by hand. Anyone with a heart for Christian unity should read and celebrate the message of this book. I consider it to be a seminal title for our time » - Pete Greig

In this landmark work, Richard Foster examines the streams of living water - the six dimensions of faith and practice - that have defined Christian tradition around the world and down the centuries. In this inspiring book he looks at :

• the Contemplative tradition - or the prayer-filled life
• the Holiness tradition - or the virtuous life
• the Charismatic tradition - or the Spirit-empowered life
• the Social Justice tradition - or the compassionate life
• the Evangelical tradition - or the word-centred life
• the Incarnational tradition - or the sacramental life

Foster’s celebration of the spiritual life incorporates history’s most significant Christian figures and movements and argues for a rich, well-rounded faith, free of constricting labels.« A book that will make you adore God » - Dallas Willard
