RICHARD

HIS 100 SPIRITUAL CLASSICS
(Devotional Masters) |

Introduction to the list:
"The
idea for the list that follows came after reflecting on the
"Christian Classics" list that John Wesley put together to help
those who were pouring into the young Methodist societies. Likewise
here, we want to give you a basic list in the field of Christian
Spirituality that you can work with in the years to come. These
are all books that we believe can help you grow in grace.
They all have intrinsic merit. They all have stood the
test of time. And most of them have had a substantial impact
on Christians throughout the centuries."

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that
uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness
(the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped
in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality
is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common
terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the
silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom,"
"spiritual disciplines," and many others.
Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement. |
