How many we achieve profound spirituality? Two notion are fundamental to Richard Hauser’s response: we must understand the person of the Spirit, and we must know ourselves. In His Spirit: A Guide to today`s Spirituality is a meditation on and exploration of the person and the Spirit, a guide to knowing better ourselves and the Spirit and the relation between us.
In His Spirit blends a theoretical understanding of the Spirit flowing from Scripture and contemporary theology with a practical application of this theory to daily life. Hauser examines Eastern and Western models of Spirituality and the New Testament writings on the Spirit. Prayer and service, he concludes, are the natural outgrowth of spirituality, of life “rooted in the Spirit of Christ”. He develops here a theology of prayer and also practical principles for daily life centered on the Spirit.
In his Spirit is written in an informal, personal style, to make concrete, for the reader, Hauser’s abstract ideas. Reflection questions that conclude each chapter lead the reader to deeper appreciation of spirituality in today’s world.
