The Spirituality of Jesus
Nine Disciples Christ Modeled for Us
Les Hardin
"What do we know about Jesus' spirituality? What disciplines did He follow? These rarely asked but essential questions are answered in The Spirituality of Jesus. Author Leslie T. Hardin points readers to the Gospels and shows that Jesus' spirituality is seen not in the miracles He performed but in His everyday activities. In the Gospels, we catch glimpses of His instructive daily routines.
Hardin identifies nine practices, or disciplines, that allowed the Spirit to work in and through Jesus: prayer and solitude, care for the oppressed, resisting temptation, corporate worship, scripture study, meal sharing, simplicity, submission to the Father, and evangelism and proclamation.
Hardin looks at how these disciplines opened avenues for the Spirit, and how they can be integrated into the lives of modern Christians."
The Spirituality of Paul
Partnering with the Spirit in Everyday Life
Les Hardin
"The traditional venues for making sense of the complicated apostle Paul are history and theology. Indeed, one cannot understand him apart from either. However, something is still missing from our portrait of Paul. Rather than thinking of Paul as a theologian and an apostle, Leslie Hardin argues there is great benefit in approaching him as a disciple, a Spirit-filled man who wanted to pass vibrant spirituality on to those he encountered.
In The Spirituality of Paul, Hardin uncovers the things Paul practiced in his own life, and those he taught his followers, in order to attempt to live an authentic, Spirit-filled Christian life. Hardin points out that in order to foster the power of the Spirit, Paul, like each of us, had to dedicate himself to everyday routines and practices. What were those spiritual disciplines? How did they help him? And how might they be applied in our modern lives to bring us closer to Christ?
Whether a general reader or mature believer, the reader of this book will find Paul to be a true brother, a fellow sinner receiving grace."
