What is Seeking the Kingdom about?
Millions have embarked on the path to spiritual growth through Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline. For the many who are inspired to pursue the Disciplines in daily life, Foster offers a collection of devotions for the journey of faith. Filled with thoughtful reflection along with key passages from many of his bestselling books, Seeking the Kingdom presents Foster’s wise counsel concerning the challenges and rewards of the Christian life.
Seeking the Kingdom draws on inspirational excerpts from Foster’s books (Celebration of Discipline, Freedom of Simplicity, The Challenge of the Disciplined Life, and Prayer), and also explores the three movements of the spiritual life: the movement inward to personal transformation, the movement upward to intimacy with God, and the movement outward to minister to others. Seeking the Kingdom is a fascinating overview of Foster’s work, and serves as a wonderful devotional.
Richard J. Foster is the author of several bestselling books, including Celebration of Discipline, Streams of Living Water, and Prayer, which in 1993 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.
