It's tempting to think that the way we do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about what we've forgotten. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can bring new life to our own spirituality.</p><br><b>Market/Audience</b><ul><li>People interested in spiritual formation</li><li>Students</li><li>Church leaders</li><li>History enthusiasts</li></ul><br><b>Endorsements</b><br><p>"Instructive and informed, and . . . provides the kind of clarity and simplicity which only grows out of deep knowledge."
