Pause for a moment and ask yourself what your life would be like if it were completely without fear? If you did not fear death. If you did not fear life and what it might bring. If you did not fear any man, or woman, or any living creature. Would you live differently? In this unique work of never-before-published teaching, Dallas Willard revolutionizes our understanding of Psalm 23 by taking this comfortably familiar passage and revealing its extraordinary promises: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.... I will fear no evil."

Best-selling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die - and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.

Opportunity to go deeper with Dallas Willard
- By Jason on 12-28-16
Publisher's Summary
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, best-selling author and founder of Renovare, 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.

Good introduction to contemplative prayer
This is a good introduction to contemplative prayer. Not as deep as some of Thomas Merton's writings, which makes it easier to listen to. Very good.

Hope-filled Perspective on Christian Meditation
This book brings to light and provides practical guidelines for addressing one of the major deficiencies so many Christians feel but don't understand in their endeavor to live out their faith - that is our natural inability to quiet our hearts and connect with, hear, speak to, and worship God beyond just the confines of our noisy minds but from within our spirit as well. Thank you for listening to voice of God on this subject and writing to those of who thirst for a closer relationship with God through His Word and His Spirit.

the narrator - I thought from the enthusiasm and inflection that the author was narrating!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sanctuary of the Soul?
I just loved how he read it and the advice/information on how to meditate and how we should seek God not the experience of God every time(can't remember exactly how he phrased it)
What does David Cochran Heath bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
like I said, I thought the author was narrating this he was that good
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

NOT FOSTER'S BEST WORK
I have read several books by this author and this one did not hold my interest at all. In fact I did not bother to finish it -- same old, same old. Normally I cannot put Foster's work down because it is so thought-provoking. Can't win them all.
