{"product_id":"9780835810883","title":"A Spirituality of Living: The Henri Nouwen Spirituality Series","description":"What’s the secret to living a spiritual life? So much is happening \u003cbr\u003e in our world—we often get distracted and listen to voices other \u003cbr\u003e than the voice of God. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “If we want to be disciples of Jesus, we have to live a disciplined \u003cbr\u003e life,” Nouwen asserts. In the spiritual life, discipline requires \u003cbr\u003e conscious effort to keep every area in life from being filled. It \u003cbr\u003e means creating space in one’s life for God. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nouwen identifies 3 essential disciplines for maintaining a life of \u003cbr\u003e discipleship: solitude, community, and ministry. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In solitude, disciples learn to listen to God through prayer. They \u003cbr\u003e come to realize they are beloved sons and daughters of God. \u003cbr\u003e In community they learn to celebrate and practice vulnerability \u003cbr\u003e and forgiveness. After they have experienced solitude and \u003cbr\u003e community, disciples feel God’s call to minister to a hurting \u003cbr\u003e world. God empowers them to do amazing things. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This encouraging, insightful book inspires Christians to practice \u003cbr\u003e solitude, community, and ministry. The result, Nouwen promises, \u003cbr\u003e is a fruitful, Spirit-filled life.","brand":"Upper Room Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032118542576,"sku":"9780835810883","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780835810883_p0.jpg?v=1763752802","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780835810883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
