accompanied with certain hesitancies and fears. That is understandable. Just keep your focus on the growing "desire of your heart." This then becomes your "special intention," the Stream or area to which you will want to give attention for the next months, say until Easter.

Next, write down three ways that you can begin exploring this Tradition. These need to be actions that are personal, reflecting how you will explore the Stream, not someone else. Also, make the actions attainable. Many people get spiritual indigestion because they try to bite off more than they can chew. Finally, enjoy your growth experience as you venture out into new territory.

Endorsements for Streams of Living Water

I think [Streams of Living Water] will be an important step to bring unity and understanding among Christians. Unity can come with understanding and appreciation of other people's beliefs and practices. Your book is

remarkable in that it shows a great deal of understanding.
—Richard M. Thomas, S. J.
Our Lady's Youth Center
El Paso, Texas

. . . a marvel of a book covering two millenniums of Christian experience. With clarity and restraint, Foster invites the reader to draw from his wells of wisdom as he paints in words the portraits of those who have shaped our rich and varied heritage. His broad brush strokes bring to life the streams of living water that for centuries have nourished our souls.
—Ingrid Trobisch, Co-Founder
Family Life Mission
Springfield, Missouri

Richard Foster has done it again. He presents an exciting and challenging picture of a mature Christian, and the traditions of the Church. I was inspired by his simple, yet profound material. My heart cried out as I read, "to be more like Jesus." —Peter Lord, Pastor
Park Avenue Baptist Church
Titusville, Florida

Richard Foster honors the many-dimensioned splendor of Christian spirituality in this book—depth, height, width, and breadth. He invites us into the magnificence and largeness of Christian experience; he shows us what grand company we keep as we follow Jesus.
—Eugene Peterson, Author

Lakeside, Montana

If you want your own spiritual life challenged and deepened; if you want to become acquainted with some of the most insightful, inspiring, and influential of Christ's followers; if you want to learn (authoritatively but painlessly!) about main currents of Christian history across the centuries, this is your book.
