Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith

Richard Foster

‘I recommend Streams of Living Water everywhere I go. My own personal copy is dog-eared, underlined and annotated by hand. Anyone with a heart for Christian unity should read and celebrate the message of this book. I consider it to be a seminal title for our time’ - Pete Greig

In this landmark work, Richard Foster examines the ‘streams of living water’ - the six dimensions of faith and practice - that have defined Christian tradition around the world and down the centuries. In this inspiring book he looks at:

  • the Contemplative tradition - or the prayer-filled life

  • the Holiness tradition - or the virtuous life

  • the Charismatic tradition - or the Spirit-empowered life

  • the Social Justice tradition - or the compassionate life

  • the Evangelical tradition - or the word-centred life

  • the Incarnational tradition - or the sacramental life

Foster’s celebration of the spiritual life incorporates history’s most significant Christian figures and movements and argues for a rich, well-rounded faith, free of constricting labels.
