Streams of Living Water
by Richard J. Foster
Six traditions of Christian life (contemplative, holiness, charismatic, social justice, evangelical, incarnational), each with a biblical figure, a historical figure and a contemporary example. Generous, ecumenical and a good corrective to any one tradition's narrowness.
