I enjoyed this simple book from Richard Foster. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, he reflects on the virtue of Christian humility. He reflects on some hard history of how the American Government handled our relationship with the Lakota people. Richard Foster provides reflections and insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Christian sources. He includes early church writers and modern day writers as he reflects on Scripture. He creates something new and engaging with both the spiritual insights, experiences, and great examples of what Christian humility can look like as we encounter hard and complicated history and injustices of the past.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This book is a reflection of ones self on the process of learning a new habit, specifically humility and inner virtue, and how to become more like Christ. It is interesting and readable, but may not be for everyone. The themes are light hearted, but complex. You have to open your mind to the concepts of text and personal experience. Foster does an incredible job meshing the two to represent his own spiritual convictions. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This helpful guide supports readers in examining the virtue of humility and how it might support them in living a better life.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I really wanted to like this book. I feel everyone nowadays could use a little more humility (myself included!). I found it a little boring and dry for my taste. I did however enjoy the prayers in the book and will keep the book and refer back to the prayers included in it. Thanks for the opportunity to review it!sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate. Join Richard Foster on the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
