Finding Our Way Again: The Return
of the Ancient Practices by Brian D.
McLaren
This Book Is Simple Yet Important.
Shines a practical light on the spiritual disciplines that have been in use
since the time of Abraham. In a sense, every day of our lives is labor. It
is questionable if you can ever be exactly the same person waking up on
two consecutive days. How are spiritual sojourners to cope with the
constant change? Many are beginning to explore the ancient Christian
spiritual practices that have been in use for centuries, everything from
fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. What is
causing this hunger for deeper spirituality? Brian McLaren guides us on
this quest for an explanation of these spiritual practices, many of which go
all the way back to Abraham and the establishment of Israel. In the midst
of contemporary Christianity, we discover the beauty of these ancient
disciplines and the transformation through Christ that each can provide.

Personal Review: Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the
Ancient Practices by Brian D. McLaren
This is one of Brian's BEST books by far [and I have read most all]
although my cover said there was an introduction by Phyllis Tickle and my
copy did not have it.
This is the first in the series and I have read this one and In Constant
Prayer and I will for sure be reading this entire set.
Brian has a lot to say on how we as Jesus followers have a lot of "belief"
but not a lot of "lifestyle." How do we get to the place where we are living
out our faith? How will a broken world see the beauty of the church if it isn't
lived out and have we all lost something as we drift further and further
away from Acts chapter 2.
In wanting to rediscover things like fasting, prayer, meditation, sabbath and
the like, Brian's introduction is a fantastic brain starter into anyone looking
to dive into the spiritual disciplines.
Great - great book
