Title: True to the Renovare Spirit
Product review: In the 30 years or so since Richard Foster published CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE, Protestant books on classic spiritual disciplines have been multiplying. I don't think John Ortberg is among the group of such authors who call themselves Renovare, but this book certainly fits the profile.As such books go, this is one of the better ones. Ortberg doesn't really say anything new, but he writes in a way that is easy to understand. His association with Willow Creek Community Church gives him a credible voice.This book has 13 chapters and includes a small group study guide. A companion video series can be purchased, completing the set and thus providing a ready made Sunday School curriculum that is likely to attract a good many people.I personally don't think it is quite as deep as the Renovare books that spawned the craze, but it is a good deal deeper than much of what is purchased over the counter in local Christian bookstores.
