Devotional Classics Revised Edition Selected Readings for Individuals and Groups Richard J Foster 9780060777500 Books Reviews
- Selected, encouraging readings from individuals who became known for their closeness to Jesus Christ. I gave it four stars because I would have picked more helpful readings for Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Siena, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Francis of Assisi, John Chrysostom, G.K. Chesterton, Athanasius, and a few others.
C.S. LEWIS (1898-1963) (from Mere Christianity)
Christ Himself sometimes describes the Christian way as very hard, sometimes as very easy. He says, "Take up your Cross" -- in other words, it is like going to be beaten to death in a concentration camp. Next minute He says, "My yoke is easy and My burden light." He means both.
JONATHAN EDWARDS (1703-1758) (from Religious Affections)
The kind of religion that God requires does not consist of weak inclinations. God insists that we be fervent in spirit, "What does the Lord require of you? To love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul" (Deut 1012). When we receive the Spirit of God, we receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost who is like "fire." When this happens, when grace is at work within us, sometimes it "burns" within us, as it did for Jesus' disciples (Luke 2432).
FRANCES de SALES (1567-1622) (from Introduction to the Devout Life)
Do you seriously wish to travel the road to devotion? If so, look for a good person to guide and lead you. Most insistently beseech God to provide you with one after His own heart.
JOHN OF THE CROSS (1542-1591) (from The Dark Night of the Soul)
The "dark night" is when those persons lose all the pleasure that they once experienced in their devotional life. They begin to do spiritual exercises to be esteemed by others. They want others to know how spiritual they are. They begin reading many books and performing many acts of piety in an attempt to gain more and more spiritual consolation. Their hearts grow attached to the feelings they get from their devotional life. But those who are on the right path will set their eyes on God and not on their inner experiences. They will enter the dark night of the soul and find all these things removed.
BERNARD of CLAIRVAUX (1090-1153) (from On the Love of God)
Why should God be loved for His own sake? Because no one deserves it more. Because He first loved us (I John 419). How much does He love us? "He so loved the world that He gave His only Son; He laid down His life for us" (John 316).
FRANCOIS FENELON (1651-1715)
Happy are they who give themselves to God! They are delivered from their passions, from the judgments of others, from their malice, from the tyranny of their sayings, from their cold and wretched mocking, from the misfortunes which the world distributes to wealth, from the unfaithfulness and inconsistency of friends, from the wiles and snares of the enemy, from own our weakness, from the misery and brevity of life, from the horrors of a profane death, from the cruel remorse attached to wicked pleasures, and in the end from the eternal condemnation of God.
ST. AUGUSTINE (354-430) (from Confessions)
I probed the hidden depths of my soul and wrung its pitiful secrets from it, and when I mustered them all before the eyes of my heart, a great storm broke within me. I flung myself down beneath a fig tree and gave way to tears which now streamed from my eyes. For I felt that I was still the captive of my sins, and in misery I kept crying, "How long shall I go on saying, 'Tomorrow, tomorrow? Why not now? Why not make an end of my ugly sins at this moment?' All at once I heard the singing of a child in a nearby house. The voice said, "Take it and read, take it and read." I told myself that this could only be a divine command to open my book of Scripture and read the first passage on which my eyes should fall "Not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lust and wantonness, not in quarrels and rivalries. Rather, arm yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ; spend no more thought on nature and nature's appetites" (Rom 1313,14). It was as though the light of confidence flooded into my heart and all the darkness of doubt was dispelled. You converted me to Yourself, so that I no longer placed any hope in this world but stood firmly upon the rule of faith.
THOMAS MERTON (1915-1968) (from Contemplative Prayer)
Many people who have a few natural gifts and a little ingenuity tend to imagine that they can quite easily learn, by their own cleverness, to master methods -- one might say the "tricks" -- of the spiritual life. The only trouble is that in the spiritual life there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Those who imagine that they can discover spiritual gimmicks and put them to work for themselves usually ignore God's will and grace.
Very often the inertia and repugnance which characterize the so-called "spiritual life" of many Christians could perhaps be cured by a simple respect for the concrete realities of every-day life, for nature, for the body, for one's work, one's friends, one's surroundings, etc. A false supernaturalism that is totally apart from the concrete world of nature offers no real support to a genuine life of meditation and prayer. Meditation has no point unless it is firmly rooted in life.
JULIAN OF NORWICH (1343-1413) (from Revelations of Divine Love)
My wish was to have been present with those who loved Christ and were with Him at His passion so that I, with my own eyes, might have seen the passion which our Lord suffered for me. I only wanted to have the compassion I thought a loving soul would have for Jesus by witnessing His suffering. It was at that moment I saw red blood running down from under the crown, hot and flowing freely, just as it must have been beneath the crown of thorns that pressed upon His head. I fully perceived at that moment that it was Jesus, both God and man, who suffered for me. For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it. No created being can ever know how much and how sweetly and tenderly God loves them.
HENRI J.M. NOUWEN (1932-1996) (from Making All Things New)
Without solitude it is virtually impossible to live a spiritual life. We are usually surrounded by so much noise that it is hard to truly hear our God when He is speaking to us. When we learn to listen, our lives become obedient lives. The word "obedient" comes from the Latin "audire" which means "listening." Jesus' life was a life of obedience. He was always listening to the Father. The core of all prayer is listening, obediently standing in the presence of God. As we empty ourselves of our many worries, we come to know that we were never alone, that God's Spirit was with us all along.
GEORGE A. BUTTRICK (1892-1980) (from Prayer)
Prayer is friendship with God. We should not rush into His Presence, but enter in an orderly quietness. In prayer itself there is no fixed order, but the first stage may be thanksgiving. We need to deliberately call to mind the joys of one day. Perhaps we should try to write down the blessings. We might begin. We could never end. There are not pens or paper enough in all the world. The attempt would remind us of our "vast treasure of content." The prayer of thanksgiving should be quite specific" "I thank Thee for this friendship, this threat overpassed, this signal grace." "For all Thy mercies" is too general for private gratitude. Daily prayer should end as it began -- in adoration. The best conclusion is, "In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen." For in the name of Jesus is our best understanding of God, and the best corrective of our blundering prayers.
EVELYN UNDERHILL (1875-1941) (from The Essentials of Mysticism)
Intellect and feeling are not wholly in our control. They fluctuate from day to day, from hour to hour. Sometimes we are mentally dull, sometimes we are emotionally flat. The worth of our prayer life does not depend upon the maintenance of a constant high level of feeling or understanding. Though these often fail us, the reigning will remains. Even when our heart is cold and our mind is dim, prayer is still possible. The determined fixing of our will upon God, and pressing toward Him steadily and without deflection; this is the very center and art of prayer.
JOHN BAILLE (1886-1960) (from A Diary of Private Prayer)
Almighty and eternal God, You who alone know what lies before me this day, grant that in every hour of it I may stay close to You. Let me be in the world, yet not of it. Let me use this world without abusing it. If I buy, let me be as though I possessed not. If I have nothing, let be as though possessing all things. Let me today embark on no undertaking that is not in line with Your will for my life, nor shrink from any sacrifice which Your will may demand. Suggest, direct, control every movement of my mind; for my Lord Christ's sake. Amen.
MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546)
Jesus Himself has said, "All things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you" (Mark 1124). Faith makes the prayer acceptable because it believes that either the prayer will be answered, or that something better will be given instead. We lay our need before God, but we do not prescribe to God a measure, manner, time, or place. We must leave that to God, for He may wish to give it to us in another, perhaps better, way than we think best.
GREGORY OF NYSSA (331-396) (from The Life of Moses)
We regard falling from God's friendship as the only thing dreadful and we consider becoming God's friend the only thing worthy of honor and desire.
RICHARD ROLLE (1290-1349) (from The Fire of Life)
I cannot tell you how surprised I was the first time I felt my heart begin to warm. I was astonished at the way the heat surged up and brought great and unexpected comfort. I had to keep feeling my breast to make sure there was no physical reason for it. I realized that it came entirely from within and this fire of love was the gift of my Maker. I was absolutely delighted, and wanted my love to be even greater. And this longing was all the more urgent because of the delightful effect and interior sweetness which this spiritual flame fed into my soul. But this eternal and overflowing love does not come when I am relaxing or am tired after traveling, nor when I am absorbed with worldly interests or engrossed in never-ending arguments. I catch myself growing cold until once again I put away all things external, and make a real effort to stand in my Savior's presence. Only then do I abide in this inner warmth.
JOHN CALVIN (1509-1564) (from the Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life)
The denial of ourselves will leave no room for pride, haughtiness, vainglory, avarice, licentiousness, love of luxury, wantonness, any sin born of self-love, the desire for wealth, the lust of power, the favor of others, false ambitions, and the hunger for human glory. To present our "bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God" (Rom 121) means that we will think, speak, meditate and do all things with a view to God's glory.
BLAISE PASCAL (1623-1662) (from Pensees)
Worldly philosophers offer us nothing but the good that is within us. What religion will teach us how to cure pride and lust? What religion will teach us our true good, our duties, the weaknesses which lead us astray, the cause of those weaknesses, and the treatment that can cure them? God's will has been to redeem us and open the way of salvation to those who seek it.
THOMAS a KEMPIS (1380-1471) (from The Imitation of Christ)
No one is completely free of temptations because the source of temptation is in ourselves. We were born in sinful desire. When one temptation passes, another is on its way. The process works like this. First, the thought is allowed to enter our minds. Second, the imagination is sparked by thought. Third, we feel a sense of pleasure at the fantasy, and we entertain it. And fourth, we engage in the evil action, assenting to its urges. We must ask God for help, who "will make a way of escape from every temptation so that we may be able to bear it" (I Cor 1013). Temptations are more easily overcome if they are never allowed to enter our minds.
WILLIAM LAW (1686-1761) (from A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life)
The command to have a faith which governs the ordinary actions of our lives is to be found in almost every verse of Scripture. Our blessed Savior and His Apostles teach us to renounce the world and all its goods, to fear none of its evils, to reject its joys, and have no value for its happiness, to be as newborn babes, to live as pilgrims, in holy fear, and heavenly aspiring to another life, to take up our cross daily, to deny ourselves, to profess the blessedness of mourning, to seek the blessedness of poverty of spirit, to forsake the pride and vanity of riches, to take no thought for the morrow, to live in the profoundest state of humility, to rejoice in worldly sufferings, to reject the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, to bear injuries, to forgive and bless our enemies, to love all people as God loves them, and to give up our whole hearts and affections to God.
CATHERINE OF GENOA (1447-1510) (from Life and Teachings)
When God finds a soul that rests in Him and is not easily moved, He operates within it in His own manner. That soul allows God to do great things within it. He gives to such a soul the key to the treasures He has prepared for it so that it might enjoy them. And to this same soul He gives the joy of His presence which entirely absorbs such a soul.
GEORGE FOX (1624-1691) (from The Letters of George Fox)
Whether you be tradesmen, of what calling or profession, or husbandmen, do rightly, justly, holy, equally to all people in all things. Let your light shine, that your works may be seen, that your Father may be glorified.
IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA (1491-1556) (from The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius)
Desolation is darkness of the soul, turmoil of the mind, restlessness resulting from many temptations which lead to loss of faith, hope, and love. There are three reasons why we are in desolation. The first is because we have been tepid, slothful, or negligent in our Spiritual Exercises. The second is that God may be trying to test our worth. The third is that He may wish us to know that it is not within our power to acquire or retain great devotion, ardent love, tears, or any other spiritual consolation, but that all of this is a gift and grace of God our Lord.
ISAAC PENNINGTON (1617-1680) (from Letters on Spiritual Virtues)
I know that your outward trials are painful and bitter. And I know also that the Lord is able to sustain you through them and make you stand your ground. O that you could dwell in the knowledge and sense of this the Lord sees your sufferings with an eye of pity and is able to achieve some good through them. He is able to bring life and wisdom to you through your trials. He will one day give you dominion over that which grieves and afflicts you. Therefore, do not be grieved at your situation or be discontented. Do not look at the difficulty of your condition, but instead look up to Him who can give you patience and can lift your head over it all and cause you to grow. God is exceedingly good and gracious and tenderhearted. He does not turn away from the affliction of His people in any way.
JOHN BUNYAN (1628-1688) (from Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners)
At first I could hardly believe that God would speak through me to the heart of anyone, and I still counted myself unworthy. Yet those who were quickened through my preaching loved me and had a respect for me. Although I insisted that it was not because of what I had said, still they publicly declared it was so. They, in fact, blessed God for me, unworthy wretch though I was, and counted me as God's instrument who showed them the way of salvation.
WILLIAM TEMPLE (1881-1944) (from Christianity and Social Order)
God is the creator of the world who brought into existence men and women who could disobey His law for them, and often do so. God did this in order that among His creatures there might be some who answer His love with theirs by offering Him a free obedience. This involved a risk in that they would naturally take the self-centered outlook on life, and then increasingly become hardened in that selfishness. This is what happened. To win them out of this, He came on earth and lived out the divine love in human life and death. He is increasingly drawing us to Himself by the love thus shown. Lord Acton, who knew more history than any other Englishmen of the last generation, deliberately declared, "The action of Christ who is risen on mankind whom He redeemed fails not, but increases."
JOHN WOOLMAN (1720-1772) (from The Journal of John Woolman)
[Why Woolman changed professions from being a merchant to a tailor and orchardist.]
I was learning to be content with real conveniences that were not costly, so that a way of life free from much entanglements appeared best for me, thought the income was small. I saw that a humble man with the blessing of the Lord might live on a little, and that where the heart was set on greatness, success in business did not satisfy the craving, but that in common with an increase of wealth the desire of wealth increased. There was a care on my mind to pass my time so that nothing might hinder me from the most steady attention to the voice of the True Shepherd. I find that to be a fool to worldly wisdom and commit my cause to God, not fearing to offend men who take offense at the simplicity of Truth, is the only was to remain unmoved at the sentiments of others.
HANNAH WHITALL SMITH (1832-1911) (from The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life)
In all the ordinary forms of Christian life, service is apt to be done purely as a matter of duty, and often as a trial and a cross. Things which at first may have been a joy and delight, become after a while weary tasks. One Christian woman said, "When I was first converted, I was so full of joy and love that I was only too glad to be allowed to do anything for the Lord. But after awhile, my early joy faded away, and my love burned less fervently, I found service becoming very distasteful and burdensome to me." It is altogether the way we look at things. What we need in the Christian life is to get believers to want to do God's will as much as other people want to do their own will. For He says, "I put My laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts" (Heb 810). This can mean nothing but that we shall love His law, for anything written in our hearts must be love. And "putting it into our minds" means that we shall will what God wills, and shall obey His sweet commands, not because it is our duty to do so, but because we ourselves want to do what He wants us to do.
JEREMY TAYLOR (1613-1667) (from The Rule and Exercises of Holy Living)
You have nothing in yourself that merits worth except your right choices. Humility consists in a realistic opinion of yourself, namely, that you are an unworthy person. If you realize that you are not wise, do not become angry if someone should agree with you! Never be ashamed of your birth, your parents, your occupation, or the lowly status of any of them. When you do receive praise for something you have done, return it to God, giving Him thanks for making you an instrument of His glory for the benefit of others. Give God thanks for every weakness, fault, and imperfection you have. Accept it as an instrument of God to resist pride and nurse humility.
JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791) (from Christian Perfection)
Beware of the daughter of pride enthusiasm. By enthusiasm I mean the tendency to hastily ascribe everything to God, supposing dreams and voices and visions to be special revelations that God has given you. While they may be from God, they may also be from the devil. Therefore, "believe not every spirit, but test the spirits, but test the spirits to see whether they be of God" (I John 41). Test all things by the written word of God. Don't expect knowledge without searching the Scriptures and consulting with the Spirit of God, or expect spiritual strength without constant prayer and steady watchfulness.
E. STANLEY JONES (1884-1973) (from Conversation)
The best Man who ever lived on our planet did three things by habit
1) "He stood up to read as was His custom" -- He read the Word of God by habit. 2) "He went up into the mountain to pray as was His custom" -- He prayed by habit.
3) "He taught them again as was his custom" -- He passed on to others what He had.
A gentlemen with an appointment to meet President Abraham Lincoln at 5am arrived fifteen minutes early. He heard a voice in the next room and asked the attendant "Who is in the next room? Someone with the President?" "No, he is reading the Bible and praying. He spends each morning from four to five in reading the Scriptures and praying."
SADHU SUNDAR SINGH (1889-1933?) (from With and Without Christ)
He is called the St. Paul of India. Raised as a Sikh, his mother died when he was just a teenager, and her death threw him into overwhelming grief. He railed at God, burned Bibles, and then planned his own death. For three days and three nights he stayed in his room. "If God wants me to live, let him say so. Oh, God, if there be a God, reveal yourself to me tonight." His plan was simple if God did not speak to him before morning, he would go out to the railway line, lay his head on the rails, and wait in darkness for the 5am train from Ludhiana to end his misery. For seven hours he waited in silent mediation. At 445am, witnesses saw a bright cloud of light suddenly fill his room and out of the brightness came the face and figure of Jesus. Sundar had been expecting Krishna or one of his own gods, but not Jesus. He spoke to Sundar in Hindustani "How long are you going to persecute me? I died for you. For you I gave My life. You were praying to know the right way; why don't you take it? I am the Way."
MADAME GUYON (1648-1717) (from Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ)
"Praying the Scripture" is this Choose some passage that is fairly practical. Come to the Lord quietly and humbly. There, before Him, read very slowly a small portion of the passage you have chosen. Take in fully what you are reading. Do not move to the next portion until you have sensed the very heart of what you have read. You may want turn into a prayer what you have read. In "praying the Scripture" you are seeking to find the Lord in what you are reading, in the very words themselves.
CHARLES SPURGEON (1834-1892) (from "Spiritual Revival the Want of the Church")
Scripture Text "O Lord, revive Thy work" (Habakkuk 32). The lives of too many men and women of the Church give the world cause to wonder if there is godliness in any of us. I have concluded this You will not know how to get to heaven simply by eavesdropping on the conversations of members of the Church! We talk too little about our Lord. How long has it been since you have had an intimate conversation with Jesus Christ? Give up all hope of reviving yourself, but pray for God to revive you. Where is the fervent preaching such as that of George Whitefield? When you heard him preach, you felt like you were listening to a man who would die if he could not preach. Ministers have stopped preaching sound doctrine about "election" and "depravity" and "free grace" because they thought people might stop coming to listen.
WATCHMAN NEE (1903-1972) (from What Shall This Man Do?)
I met a student once who said it was too early for him to come to the Lord. He wanted more time to taste the pleasures of sin and to enjoy himself. "I want to wait another forty years and have a good time, and then I will repent." So I said, "Let us pray. Tell the Lord all you have told me. He is the Friend of unrepentant sinners like you." "Oh, I couldn't say that to Him," he said. "Why not? Whatever is in your heart, you tell it to Him. He will help you." Finally he prayed, and told the Lord that he did not want to repent and be saved, but that he knew he needed a Savior; and he just cried for help. The Lord worked repentance in him and he got up a saved man.
SOREN KIERKEGAARD (1813-1855) (from The Prayer of Kierkegaard)
Father in Heaven! Hold not our sins up against us, but hold us up against our sins so that the thought of You when it wakens in our soul, and each time it wakens, should not remind us of what we have committed but of what You did forgive, not of how we went astray but of how You did save us!
DAG HAMMARSKJOLD (1905-1961) (from Markings)
In the presence of God, nothing stands between Him and us -- we are forgiven. But we cannot feel His presence if anything is allowed to stand between ourselves and others.
KATHLEEN NORRIS (1947 - ) (from The Quotidian Mysteries)
Thankless, boring, repetitive tasks are the hardest for the utilitarian mind to appreciate. It was in the writing of a poem that I first became aware that the demands of laundry might have something to do with God's command that we worship, that we sing praise on a regular basis. Both laundry and worship are repetitive activities with a potential for tedium, and I hate to admit it, but laundry often seems like the more useful of the tasks. Both are work that God has given us to do.
BROTHER LAWRENCE (1611-1691) (from The Practice of the Presence of God)
Thus I resolved to give my all for God's all. I renounced, for the love of God, everything that was not God, and I began to live as if there was none but God and I in the world. At all times, every hour, every minute, even at my busiest times, I drove away from my mind everything that was capable of interrupting my thought of God. When we are faithful in keeping ourselves in His holy presence, keeping Him always before us, this not only prevent us from offending Him, this brings us a familiarity with God wherein we may ask and receive the graces we are so desperately in need of.
I have never found this method I am describing in any books.
I must tell you that for the first ten years I suffered a great deal. The awareness that I was not as devoted to God as I wanted to be, the awareness of my past sins which were always present in my mind, and the great unmerited favors God did for me were the source and substance of my suffering.
When I finally reached a point where I wanted to quit, I found myself changed all at once. In my soul I suddenly felt a profound inward peace. I no longer have any pain or difficulty because I have no will except that of God's will. I am assured beyond any doubt that my soul has been with God for nearly thirty years.
I imagine myself as the most wretched of all, full of sores and sins. Feeling a deep sorrow, I confess to Him all my sins and abandon myself into His hands that He may do with me as He pleases. This King, full of mercy and goodness, far from chastening me, embraces me with love, invites me to feast at His table, serves me with His own hands, and gives me the keys to His treasures. He converse with me, and takes delight in me. This is how I imagine myself from time to time in His holy presence. - I love this book! It is one of my favorites. It is fantastic both as a devotional and as a primer introducing a reader to ancient founts of Christian wisdom. We are so often inundated with an onslaught of books by contemporary authors. However, few of us ever even hear about our historical predecessors. Yet, there were faithful giants who shaped history through their love and devotion to God. These selections are fantastic, insightful, incisive, brief and potent. I recommend this book often and suggest that everyone read it. Its effect on me has been powerful. It continually draws me back to my Creator and inspires me with ancient wisdom that is oh so timely for today. If you give it an honest look, I doubt you will be disappointed.
- I am loving this collection of 52 classic devotionals from some of history's greatest Christian devotees. We have started using it in our small group at church and it provides the perfect catalyst for rich, deep conversations, learning and growth among us all.
In the second entry, The Cost of Nondiscipleship, Dallas Willard writes, "The disciple is one who, intent upon becoming Christlike and so dwelling in his "faith and practice," systematically and progressively rearranges his affairs to that end."
If you want to devote yourself to Christ - if you are one who is intent upon becoming Christlike - you need a great devotional through which to dwell in faith and practice. Devotional Classics provides you with the perfect resources to systematically, thoughtfully and progressively rearrange your affairs to that end. It provides just what a devotional book should provide, and does so better than any other resource I have ever owned or used.
I highly recommend you purchase a copy today! - This is a wonderful way to dip your toe into the world of classic theological writing. Excerpts from such classic writers as C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine, can be digested in bite size samples. If you want to read the classics but get overwhelmed at tackling a whole book, this is the solution. After reading this book, you will feel like you can understand and participate in a sound theological discussion.
- It is wonderful to read the devotional writings of men and women from across many different traditions. This was a joy to use (it was a "textbook" for a seminary class) and I will probably end up going back to it as my main devotional someday.
- Excellent devotional for anyone who does not care for typical devotions. Deep and profound writings from trough the ages. Challenging and eye opening concepts. Great introductions to great authors from as early as the first century.
- We have a small neighborhood group that meets to discuss spiritual matters. A former pastor suggested this book. As we got into it, we found we were really over our heads. We were ready to give it up when we hit the first writer that we found a little easier to get our minds around. At that time we were waiting for the arrival of some other possibilities and continued rather than going without material at all. By the time we received the other books, we'd hit our stride. It's always interesting to see which writers will inspire which members of the group. We have been humbled by the intelligence and depth of spirit of those who lived as long as fifteen hundred years ago. Our discussions go deeper and deeper and are beginning to surface in our everyday lives. What more can you ask of spiritual material? It can change your life even if it is what my young pastor calls Theology 101. Not for those who want to be spoon fed but well worth the effort.
- A great way to sample the reflections of outstanding Christian authors. Useful for personal devotions and as a way to find new authors worth exploring further.
