#devotional#prayer#spirituality#christianity#art#desertfathers#vangogh#cslewis#lengle#nouwen Other than some creased corners, this book is in fine shape. On a personal note, I'm not much of one for devotional books or whatever, but this is the exception. Instead of telling you what to think or believe about God and your relationship with God, Space for God provides some evocative fragments of written and visual art and then gets out of your way so that you can listen for the still, small voice of God in your own prayer and meditation practice. I love that. Back cover description: In these hectic times, we long to create space for God in our lives. Space for God: Study and Practice of Spirituality and Prayer offers us a way to live gratefully in the presence of God. Through devotional reflections and readings, art, meditation, and prayer, this revised edition of Space for God provides a joyous guide for spiritual living. Author Don Postema draws on his own rich experiences as a Christian Pastor and on the writings of John Calvin, Thomas Merton, Henri J. M. Nouwen, C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and others. The result is a rewarding spiritual journey that can lead to a fuller life with God. An accompanying leader's guide is available for small group use. In addition, Space for God in Words and Music is available on audiocassette and CD. (Note: These are all sold separately.) Don Postema was campus minister at the University of Michigan for thirty-four years. Now retired from that ministry, he continues to serve as a retreat leader, conference speaker, and spiritual director. "SPACE FOR GOD IS SURE TO BE ONE OF THE SPIRITUAL CLASSICS OF OUR TIME.
