Book Description
Excerpt from Simplicity in the Christian Faith Alike Scriptural and Powerful: A Sermon, Delivered on the Morning of Lord's Day, July 1, 1827, at the Second Independent Church in Charleston, S. C But from the distorted second-hand representations which he had received of the testimony of the early Fa thers, he still felt confident that Ecclesiastical History was in favour of the doctrine. How much was he sur prised to find, on looking a little nearer, that their tes timony obviated the greatest difficulty in the Unitarian system, by authorizing us to refer the Trinitarian doc trine of the Logos, to the Platonic and Gnostic philo sophy, which was so much in vogue with most of the first learned converts to Christianity. The unlearned, we have reason to believe, continued Unitarian, until the Church gradually submitted to the authority of these speculative philosophers. The writer thus found, that he was compelled, with Augustine, to acknowledge his obligation to Plato for his belief in the Trinity. The result has been, that he felt called Upon by con science to leave the Episcopal Ministry. Still he per ceived the propriety of proceeding with great hesitation in so serious a change; and he thinks that he must now be acquitted of precipitation, when, after devoting nine months to reflection, inquiry and prayer, he has complied with requests to preach to a society formedvi.

Book Description
In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Book Description
"Ehrlich’s insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life."—Publishers Weekly Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige—Jesus is very clear about that—but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society’s lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter. Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God’s grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.
