While he's not a contemplative and hardly a mystic, Chris has found, in the Bible and in his work with impoverished people, evidence of a simple spirituality. This way of humility, community, simplicity, submission and brokenness will help you see--no matter how dark things get. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Call to SimplicityAmerican life today is increasingly cluttered. We live in a fast-paced society that claims the answer to our insatiable appetites is in the unfettered pursuit of more stuff. Unfortunately, the church has often become complicit in this lie, offering us tips to better our lives rather than grace that transforms our vision of reality. No wonder that many are now issuing a call for simplicity - a spirituality that shuns the materialistic impulses of our culture and finds true satisfaction ...

Heuertz candidly shares heartbreaking stories of how his experience with the poor and broken have propelled him to contemplate spirituality in a new way. By doing so, he poetically gives a voice to those who are seemingly powerless in this world. Clearly, Heuertz doesn't share these stories to focus on himself. There's no loud, boisterous qualities to this book. Simple Spiritually doesn't pontificate and Heuertz never mentions ... Read More Rating: - Smple SpiritualityThis book was sent to us as a gift. We liked it so much we bought 10 more to give away to others. The author uses personal experiences and observations throughout the book, which helps to reinforce the ideas presented. It is an easy read, but you will be challenged to look at the world in a different way when you finish the book. Rating: - A needed challenge to the church.Chris's book is a needed voice in the church today. It calls us to remember the poor as we find what it means to live a genuine Christian life. And he doesn't let himself or the church off the hook easily. He is honest with himself and invites the reader to be honest with themselves as well. It's challenging, causing the reader to rethink what the Christian life really can look like and pushes the reader to know who Jesus really is. It's one of those books that can be read again and again because it's ... Read More Rating: - complicated simplicityheuertz has put his heart on the chopping block, given God the axe, and allowed a beautiful brokenness to be exposed. dare i say, rivaling greats like nouwen, vanier, and yancey, simple spirituality provides a powerful yet gentle glance into the true spirit of Jesus. there's really nothing simple about, except that it's simply a profound piece of writing. |
