Simple Spirituality: Learning to See God in a Broken World
Christopher L. Heuertz
InterVarsity Press, 2008, 160 pp., $15.00, www.ivpress.com
Moving. Challenging. Real. This is a slow read, but in a good way. So many sentences are filled with layers of challenging truth that one can’t help but pause and reflect. Simple Spirituality invites us to see—truly see—God in a broken world.
Drawing from experiences in global missions, Heuertz explores five disciplines: humility, community, simplicity, submission and brokenness—with the belief that these disciplines can aid in breaking “the barriers between us and God.” If you want to know God better, this book is for you.
Do not skim this book! Take it slowly. Consider reading it little by little as you reflect and journal. It provides no prompt questions; but as the truth jumps off the page and challenges, you will have all the prompting you need.
