Streams of Living Water - Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith (Paperback, New edition)

In this landmark work, Foster examines the "streams of living water" - the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition in the midst of constantly evolving faith and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are essential elements of growth and maturity. Foster examines the unique contributions of these traditions and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose lives defined each of these "streams". In STREAMS OF LIVING WATER, Foster seeks a balanced approach to a renewal of the spirit and offers a clear and tangible path to authentic Christian experience. STREAMS OF LIVING WATER was awarded the Evangelical Christian Publishers' Association's prestigious Gold Medallion Award as the best book published in the category of Christian Living in 1999.
