Power Herbs by Louis J Vanrenen

Biblical Foundations of Spirituality is a timely and important book that invites readers to touch a finger to the flame of the sacred text of the Bible by offering guidance on what to read, how to read, and why to read the Bible as a source of spiritual nourishment. It begins by exploring the nature and meaning of that all-too-difficult word spirituality and then leads readers through the entire Bible-from Genesis to Revelation-to develop a biblical spirituality that can serve as a guiding light in this age of spiritual seeking.

Informed by the latest scholarship, this book makes the Bible more intelligible and user friendly for contemporary audiences by stressing the spiritual dimension of the search for God evident in our biblical ancestors and showing how the Bible can be a friend and companion in our search for God today. It illustrates the continuity of the Old and New Testaments and the progression of faith and insight about God-the turns and dead-ends, the mistakes and successes, the struggles and challenges-that reflect in some way our own contemporary experience and search for God. By showing readers that the biblical authors were real people who struggled with life's puzzles and challenges in the same way that we do, Biblical Foundations of Spirituality reveals the rich treasure of spiritual wisdom that the Bible contains and connects the wisdom and witness of Scripture with everyday life and spirituality. Complete with a historical chronology, reflection questions, a glossary, and extensive notes and bibliography, this book is ideal for classroom and parish use as well as for individual readers.
