Summary: I Only Give 5 Stars to Life Changing Books
Comment: I will give this book 5 stars for one chapter alone. Much of what one finds in this book may be found in other locations. However, the last chapter contains the clearest teaching I've ever read on developing a personal Rule of Life. If all of the other pages were blank, this book would be worth the money and worth 5 stars.
Of course, the rest of the pages are not blank. I found myself highlighting many passages.

Summary: Watered-down version of Celebration of Discipline
Comment: Soul Feast may be wonderful for Sunday School or other group studies, but readers who are looking for a resource for truly deepening their spiritual lives will find this book long on nice-sounding ideas and warm fuzzy feelings, but short on real content and suggestions for practice. It is a watered down version of Richard Foster's seminal work Celebration of Discipline.
Soul Feast can be helpful, but don't think you're getting a meaty guide. Every time it starts to seem meaty, there's a footnote to Foster. Buy the real thing.

Summary: SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
Comment: Countless books have been written on Christian spirituality from a theological, intellectual and historical perspective. All of them have strengths which deepens our appreciation of spirituality. Spirituality, however, is to be lived and practiced in the lives of believers. Thus these books fall short in emphasizing spiritual practice. Soul Feast corrects this by inviting the reader to enter the spiritual through the practice of the spiritual disciplines. It is through these disciplines that we can live out a spiritual life. This is a balanced text which thouroughly integrates theory and practice with a greater emphasis on the latter. Protestants, whose background doesn't include the spiritual discipline will be greatful in rediscovering them. Spiritual direction and hospitality are just a few of them discussed in this valuable work.
