About this title: Richard Foster expounds on his introduction to the successful "Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible" and his concept of the "with-God life," showing how all of Scripture is unified around the theme of how to have a vibrant and dynamic life with God. For Foster, the with-God life concept allows the "river of life that flows through the Bible into the thirsty wastelands of the human soul." Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God's plan for seeking out a relationship to us, Foster sees the Bible as "the loving heart of God made visible and plain" to us.

"In the midst of working through Life With God, it occured to me that Richard Foster might be one of the most timeless living theologians. I suspect people will be reading his work hundreds of years from now, long after most other academic and popular theologians of our time have been forgotten. That Foster chooses to focus on a timeless topic, the spiritual disciplines, makes this somewhat unsurprising. But what really sets him apart and will continue to make his work relevant is the way he is able to draw upon the wisdom of nearly every theological school of thought to create a vision of the Christian life that any would recognize as true. Evangelical, Catholic, Liberal Protestant, and Orthodox theologians appear in this work and each are used in a way far beyond token. The only fault I found with this work is that it really is more of an addendum to his early works, particularly the Celebration of Disciplines, than a stand alone book. It is much more a picture of what the Christian life with the disciplines should be like than practical advice as to how to enter into those disciplines. I suppose it was also disappointing that a book supposedly focused on reading the Bible was more about the disciplines, but with Foster that is to be expected."
"I am not sure what to say about this book. It is well written and needed in this day and age. Foster wants us to read the Bible, but for God, not for our own needs. One should not expect the Bible to be a magical solution. Foster has a good section on lecto divina and a wonderful chapter on grace. As always Foster has written a marvelous, meaty book.
The reason I am not sure how to review this book, is that I think my first reading has only skimmed the surface. I have found that Foster's books are new every time I read one. He has so much to say that it takes several readings and much thought for me to digest his message.
I have read his book Celebration of Discipline several times and listened to Foster's book on prayer at least twice. Every time Foster has something to tell me that I did not hear before.
I highly recommend Foster's writings. Just be prepared to read them again and again."
"This book is a straight-forward practical guide for growing in one's relationship to God through reading the Bible. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for more spiritual growth."
"Clarence Bray gave me this book and I am so glad that I read it!!!! This book is written for Christians of all stripes--evangelical, liberal, whatever flavor. It presents a very appealing picture of why a person would want to be a Christian and how much better this world would be if we lived our faith. I highly recommend it."
