Story
In an era when many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Christians, Willard says, for the most part consider the primary function of Christianity to be admittance to heaven. But, as Willard clearly shows, a faith that guarantees a satisfactory afterlife, yet has absolutely no impact on life in the here and now, is nothing more than "consumer Christianity" and "bumper-sticker faith".

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said, "Follow me." What if the 21st-century Church actually heeded that call? What would the world look like if the Church were truly on the move? Simply put, very different. But these ponderings beg one more critical question: What exactly should the Church be moving toward?

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace.

Fr. Robert Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Fr. Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.

In Invitation to a Journey, Mulholland helps Christians new and old to understand that we become like Christ gradually, not instantly. Not every personality is suited to an early morning quiet time, so Mulholland frees different personality types to express their piety differently. He reviews the classical spiritual disciplines and demonstrates the importance of undertaking our spiritual journey with (and for the sake of) others. This road map for spiritual formation is profoundly biblical and down to earth.

Oh! That they may be one!
This work gives an overview of the various streams, the various Christian groups, and the contributions they made to Christian thought and practice. Indeed, it is an answer to the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus...Oh! that they may be one...you cannot listen without getting a new respect for groups that you might have regarded as inferior to your own. As you listen, you gain a greater understanding, love, kind regard, and respect for your brothers and sisters who are clothed in different cultural robes than you are.

Awakening to our call
We can spend a life time living disconnected from our Creator. Our worship becomes matter of routine based on the rituals of tradition. This book has awakened me to the need to explore more about who I am and how best to live a spiritual life expressed outwardly. Our divine purpose is within the streams of the living waters expressed by the author. Just finished reading the Gospel and this book has gave me the how to receive the teaching in my life

All the rage, yet not worth it at all
In a lot of seminaries and Christian undergraduate levels, this book is still talked about. I speak from experience on this. I also, after reading it twice, still cannot fathom why. The book describes "streams" of various traditions, all of which Jesus is the ultimate example of. He then attaches a biblical character to the streams, explaining how this stream was played out in their life, then expands on a more modern historical figure in Christian history to build on the example.
It's not a terrible idea. Most of my criticism is likely linked to the seminary experience of hearing about this book, and then being utterly underwhelmed. Many of the Biblical examples (St. Paul, for example) are linked subjectively to streams that highlight one aspect of their lives, ignoring others. Foster's choices for more modern examples are much better, but even then, his pseudo-autobiographical work is not very good.
Foster also misses what some would consider their definitive "stream." The "suffering stream" would fit perfectly, with a Jesus, biblical character, historical figure, and theological tradition grounding, but is nowhere to be found. And while I may not like the "prosperity gospel" and its stream, it is a stream and could be expounded on in all the same ways. While trying to expand and explain, the book only succeeds at narrowing the view of Christianity.
I'm not sure what this book is. It's not a devotional piece. It's not a historical piece. It's not a biographical piece. It's not really a commentary. It's a bizarre theological perspective that has somehow wormed its way into some Evangelical thought at the undergraduate and graduate level.

A Lifetime of Challenge
There is not a page Foster has written that doesn't challenge and call one (me) further on in the working out of faith... or as CS Lewis says further up and further in. He leaves me with much to study and contemplate. Thank you Brother Richard!

Streams
Each stream should be entrenched within our lives, perpetually flowing and deepening as God so desires, in "good" times and "bad."
