Rudiments of Faith: Daily Readings for Living on a Spiritual Basis

'We fill our minds with so much we don't need each morning. Chris' reflections are short, deep and wise. And they all come back to the unsurpassing value of knowing Jesus. It's where we start - and where we end. I commend it to you.'Rt Rev Simon Burton-JonesBishop of Tonbridge These readings come from the author's own spiritual journey and are intended to be a catalyst and springboard for realising a genuine and real relationship with God. The exercises in this book are designed to help you to identify, develop and deepen your consciousness of God's presence in your life. Rooted in the Christian practice of Lectio Divina and Contemplative Prayer these rudiments of faith provide a way of developing your conscious contact with God, and through the daily practice of these simple rudiments, you can access a faith that works.
