Christopher J. Freet

Christians often talk about a faith that is relevant, fresh, and new. At the same time, we often forget that the faith is also rooted in a rich history, one that can enlighten and deepen our spiritual walk.

In Classic Devotions: A Thirteen-Week Devotional and Introduction to Classic Theologians and Mystics of Christian History you will be invited to connect with this rich history of Christian devotion in an accessible way. Each of the thirteen weeks is devoted to a particular Christian mystic or theologian. Through the week, there are quotations from that person or group of persons, with parallel scripture passages. On the seventh day, there are questions for practical application to help you apply these ideas and insights in your own thinking and your own life.

Each devotional is relatively short. But if you follow the suggested by the author for studying and meditating each day, you will find a wonderful opportunity to learn more and build a connection both with the community of God's people through the ages, and through that connection with God and with others today.

This book can be used for individual devotions, or can be studied in a group.
