Rediscovering Daily Graces: Classic Voices on the Transforming Power of the Sacraments

by Robert Elmer, Fouad Elias Accad

Classic voices come alive today
Refresh your spiritual life by rediscovering classic insights on God’s gifts of grace. Has our spiritual anchor drifted? For centuries the church defined cradle-to-grave faith through a ritual framework called the baptism, confirmation, communion, reconciliation, prayer for the sick, marriage, and vocation. These were seen as God’s everyday gifts of grace to His people―aids for navigating the stormy seas of life. Today the waves continue to toss. So it’s time to rediscover a new collection of writings from respected writers and church leaders such as Charles Spurgeon, Andrew Murray, Martin Luther, and Dwight Moody―all updated in contemporary language. Each one urges us to leave shallow waters behind while offering time-honored wisdom to draw us deeper to God in our everyday relationships, our work, and especially our worship. As their insights once more come alive, they offer practical strategies for reclaiming the best of our spiritual heritage and finding our way home.
