Reconnecting Ancient Spiritual Practices, Evangelism, and Justice.
How contemplative practice can fuel Christians’ enthusiasm for evangelism and social justice
A beloved and bestselling author, preacher, and activist teams up with a spiritual director to show Christians how contemplative spiritual practice that leads to greater intimacy with God can fuel passion for reaching out to others through evangelism (spreading the Good News) and social justice (helping the poor and oppressed). Tony Campolo and Mary Darling show how and why this combination is important, drawing on the historical examples of St. Francis, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. John of the Cross, among others. They explain mystical spirituality and its practices and integrate it with social activism to illuminate what the authors call "holistic Christianity."
