Thoughts From Streams Of Living Water

Should a healthy Christianity have all of these streams? To do them all; is it to do any one of them well? Mediocre communities, bearing no vision.

To do what we love, with a great heart of acceptance toward those who are doing what they love may be the goal.

Convergence: A river is coming from the streams.

Do we need a big Church to embody it all, or a big Heart?

“The great thing, if one can, is to sop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that twaht one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life – the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination.” C.S. Lewis, in his letters to Arthur Greeves.

What a rich book; brings so much together.

Sheltering Mercy and Endless Grace help us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation. Sheltering Mercy helps the reader pray Psalms 1-75; Endless Grace leads in prayer through Psalms 76-150.

The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. Each book contains 75 prayers drawn from the Book of Psalms, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning there. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.

These artful, poetic, and classic devotional books are a perfect gift, and feature compelling stunning illustrations and hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms. Co-written with Ryan Whitaker Smith, Brazos Publishing.
