The things you possess end up possessing you.
The more you have, the more you care. The one that is really free is the one who has nothing to lose.
A Yearly Read
This book belongs in a list of modern classics that deserve to be read yearly, in my opinion. While Foster's Celebration Of Disciplines is fantastic, as is Prayer (among others), in Freedom Of Simplicity a picture emerges of a way of living before God that is holistic in its scope, yet accessible at the same time.
What I find in Foster (and in his mentor, Dallas Willard) is a strong and confident voice of exhortation, yet lacking the severe tone that some modern authors tend to exhibit - albeit unintentionally. Foster is like the father or grandfather that quietly comes in and offers up sound wisdom in a way that is gentle and strong all at once.
This book - along with a few choice others - deserve to be read once per year in my opinion. You won't regret this purchase.
