<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>John Jefferson Davis summons the resources of traditional biblical meditation for a culture lost in the cloud. He establishes the trinitarian view of God's real presence in Scripture and then ushers readers through three successive stages of meditation--consummating in a method for deep assimilation of the Christian worldview.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As culture has become at once more secular and more religiously pluralistic, a renaissance of interest in the spiritual disciplines has been sparked in evangelical Protestant circles. Mounting levels of stress, burnout and spiritual dryness among those in ministry has only stoked this desire for spiritual nourishment and renewal. John Jefferson Davis helps us recover the practice of meditation on Scripture as he explores the biblical and theological foundations rooted in the arrival of the age to come in Jesus Christ. Indeed by virtue of our union with Christ, the Triune God of the Bible draws near to his people so that they may also draw near to him. Meditation on God's revelation has always been central to enjoying communion with the Father through the Son and in the Spirit. Davis gives us fresh and practical guidance on removing the obstacles that block our fellowship with God and listening to Scripture in ways that can enrich our worship, faith, hope and love.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Meditation and Communion with God</em> represents a significant advance in evangelical understanding of Christian spirituality. It forces evangelicals to rethink many of their current practices which in turn should lead them to recognize spiritual affinities with older Christian traditions, especially Orthodoxy.</p>--Simon Chan, Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care, 2017<br><br><p>In <em>Meditation and Communion with God</em>, Davis ably surveys the cultural, theological, and neuroscientific developments that make this moment propitous for reviving an oft-neglected practice.</p>--Matt Reynolds, Christianity Today, November 2012<br>
