Water From a Deep Well

Water from a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries, by Gerald L. Sittser (InterVarsity Press, 2007)
It takes a gifted writer to walk his readers down a well-worn path, and still be able to point out new or yet unseen discoveries along the way. Yet that is exactly what has been accomplished in Water from a Deep Well. Why not spend this fall with Sittser as your tour guide, as you travel through 2,000 years of history and delve into the thoughtful nuances of well-known (and sometimes not so well-known) themes of Christian spirituality, ranging from mystics to martyrs, and from saints to sinners.

Just started reading the book, and I am enjoying it !! It is up there with a book I read on Quantum Physics and Albert Einstein from a interest point of view. ( keeping me from putting it down )The historic view point and the Christan spirituality aspects combined, have brought my beliefs to the surface and inspired me to continue reading new kind’s of book’s. Christian rather then war type book’s. (As I did spend time in the military)
If you like physics (or more specifically, astrophysics), then you would really enjoy reading The First Copernican by Dennis Danielson (http://wessner.ca/?p=23).
