The heart of God made visible and plain.

Why do many Christians try so hard to place the Bible at the centre of their lives, but, in reality, get very little from it in terms of genuine life-transforming practice?

Life With God is Richard Foster's first major new work for nearly a decade and is of similar magnitude to his classics: Prayer, Celebration of Discipline and Streams of Living Water.

Readers will discover a whole new way to read Scripture, making it a doorway to a lifestyle we can master, rather than merely acknowledge we understand.

The with-God life 'is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is solid, serene, simple, and radiant.'

Richard Foster is a Quaker. He comes from an academic background, having been a professor of Friends University, Kansas, and also the pastor of several Evangelical Friends churches. His book The Celebration of Discipline was named by Christianity Today as one of the top 10 books of the twentieth century.

'A huge gap yawns in our culture between reading the Bible and living the Bible. Many read it. Not nearly as many live it. Richard Foster's purpose is to close the gap. The writing is lucid, inviting, and friendly. Read this and experience for yourself the closing of the gap.' Eugene H. Peterson, author of The Message.
