Description 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.
