Even as we read great books to develop the mind, it is also urgent that we feed the soul. In Longing for God (InterVarsity Press), Richard Foster and Gayle Beebe share with us the spiritual insights of classic writers of the past, shaped around “the seven primary paths to God that have developed throughout Christian history.” The writers on which they draw range from the ancient church fathers to the 20th century. The reader will find much here to feed his or her soul.
