Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices Audiobook

" A very good primer for convincing one of the values of the ancient ways. McClaren makes a great case for finding our way again with the familiar. "

" An exemplary call to return to Kingdom practices that offer hope, life and renewal. "

" This book was not very compelling, and written in Brian McLaren's rather tedious and redundant style. "

" Some good stuff on the history behind spiritual practices and why we should do them, but overall the depth was not there. But it is an introduction to a series of books so I understand that he couldn't go too deep into each practice as that would take away from the rest of the books in the series. I imagine that if one read this book along with the rest of the series it would seem to fit perfectly, but as a stand alone its not worth the current price of the book. But I guess I would recommend it for this price if someone was looking for an introduction to spiritual practices and wants to begin learning more, its perfect for someone who has no knowledge of spiritual practices. "

" A light and (mostly) well written introduction to the importance of spiritual disciplines. It also contained about 1% politically correct rubbish which was highly unfortunate, but will make McLaren's detractors very happy. Thankfully, it also contained some lovely gems of insight that I will continue to reflect on. "

" I found this to be a refreshing reflection on ways to focus my spiritual and religious practices and to place my beliefs in context. "

" I actually found this to be much better than I expected. A thoughtful, intelligent, and overall graceful exploration of spiritual disciplines. "

" Not really what I was looking for. Although, I have been practicing some of the disciplines for a while, so, perhaps, this might be better suited for people who are just starting out. "

" I was disappointed in this book mostly because I expected something else - I had ordered it with the understanding that it focused on Orthodox practices. Still, it is not a bad book and is thoughtful in its look at a variety of the "ancient practices" making a resurgence in the modern world. "

" Personal this is a good groundwork for further readings on ancient practices. Hast a lot of depth one can't miss. "

" Meh. Nice idea, but not too taken by the book's execution. "

" Helpful for coming to grips with spiritual disorientation. Return to early spiritual practices/disciplines. Fundamentalism offers no answers. Studied this through the Nazarene Church we recently became involved with. "

" He's done it again. Every page held a new treasure. I want to read this book again. "

" Very engaging and helpful. "
