TRUE DEVOTION

we must be truly devoted to God - our relationship with him must be real and deep, and we must be devoted to him truly - our devotion must be grounded in and governed by the truth, by the teaching of the Bible. This book draws on both the Scriptures and the writings of Christians of the past. Part 1 unpacks Gospel Spirituality as responsive, paradoxical and relational, Part 2 critiques The Mystical Way , discussing experience of God and his voice, prayer, the inward journey and the testimony of mystics and reformers. Part 3 looks for The Way Ahead , focussing on meditation and concluding with a call to a Christ-centred, responsive spirituality.
