Life With God by Richard Foster is really good!  Here is just one small excerpt from another contributing author:

Christians feed on Scripture. Holy Scripture nurtures the holy community as food nurtures the human body. Christians don’t simply learn or study or use Scripture; we assimilate it, take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism and justice in Jesus’ name, hands raised in adoration of the Father, feet washed in company with the Son.      Eugene Peterson

We have a spiritual life that needs food just as our physical bodies need food.  But the goal of reading Scripture is not to simply fill us up.  It’s to lead us to greater love: to greater appropriation of God’s love for us and for us to have a greater love for God and others. To read Scripture for any other purpose means that we are trying to control what comes out of it rather than letting it control what comes out of us.

Oooooooh!  Great stuff, Richard.  Thank  you!
