SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES OF MEDITATIVE LIFE

James Houston provides insight on the value and exercise of the meditative life for the believer. In this recording Houston outlines why it is necessary for the believer to have purity of heart, humility, and openness to the truth and Spirit of God to experience the benefits of the meditative life. Moreover, Houston recommends several Christian literature classics for further reading on the meditative life.

This is a Legacy Audio recording drawn from a collection of free audio resources over the last 30+ years featuring themes which are still relevant today. Due to the archival nature of the recordings, some of the audio content may not be up to today's digital standards, but nonetheless, the content is still applicable.
