A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For Christians who want to live simple, disciplined lives

How can we live lives of integrity in the face of terrible social inequities: How can we effectively respond to today's complex issues? How can we develop a heart that is peaceful and silent enough to effect lasting, positive change? Through the discipline of simplicity we can achieve all this and more, says Richard Foster in Freedom of Simplicity.

The Leader's Guide to this popular, warmly written book provides a variety of exercises to help readers reflect deeply on the power of simplicity and its relationship to prayer, solitude, and all the Christian disciplines.

This Leader's Guide offers:
- step-by-step instructions for leading each session
- activities to encourage openness and build community
- suggestions for prayer, meditation, and worship
- discussion questions and journaling exercises that can be photocopied
