Sanctuary of the Soul: Journey into Meditative Prayer
2011 Leadership Journal Top Book of the Year
“At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with you. . . . From the human side of this equation it is meditative prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship.” Richard Foster, bestselling author and founder of Renovaré, writes these words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God. Weaving together quotes and stories from the lives of mothers and fathers of the faith as well as powerful encounters with God from his own life, Foster describes the riches of quieting your mind and heart in order to listen to and obey God more closely. Along the way, at perhaps his clearest, most practical best, he also provides the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this prayer practice for yourself. The journey into meditative prayer is not easy, but it is essential. And, as Foster shows, it’s possible, even in the midst of the noisy, often chaotic world we live in. Your soul can become a sanctuary where you fellowship with the very God of the universe, who knows you and loves you deeply. These pages point the way.

Dancing in the Storm
“What happened to the DREAM I had nurtured for a lifetime? A SIMPLE LIFE…neat, orderly, predictable and SAFE?”
When Linda McGinn Waterman’s life fell apart, a frightful truth became obvious: Change and the resulting chaos are everywhere, actually forming the very fabric of life. She tried to resist it, manage it, plan for it, and hide from it with no success. Now she tried something new: She embraced it.
Are there times when the uncertainties of life overwhelm you? In this intriguing book, Waterman shows that chaos actually does you a favor by smashing the false foundations on which you try to build your life. As you learn to accept rather than resist the chaos, God’s pattern for your life will emerge from the tempest, bringing you rest, calm, joy and adventure.
When you make the choice to dance in the storm, “Life will be good. And you will not regret the choice,” promises Waterman. “You will choose it time and time again as chaos confronts you. Everything is uncertain, except God, of course. And that’s the most assuring exception there is.”
