Paper Back. Condizione: New. These lilting reflections on the Holy Spirit unfold in the shape of a prayer--specifically, the 'fountainhead' Orthodox prayer of invocation: 'Heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, who art everywhere present.' Each chapter dwells on a single phrase, allowing its truths to flow organically into the heart, for 'any Orthodox reflection on the Holy Spirit will be an invitation for the Holy Spirit to move from the page and into the person.' Oliver grounds his meditations in scripture and theology (Basil the Great, St. Silouan, Elder Paisios, Seraphim of Sarov) while drawing out practical implications for the spiritual life. The chapter 'Spirit of Truth' begins with the Nicene Creed, but then traces the process by which 'half-truths' can often lead us to 'the depths of depression or the heights of pride--which, actually, is often the same place.' Likewise, 'Fruits of the Spirit' points out the pitfalls of mistaking pleasure for joy, 'peace' for conflict avoidance, 'goodness' for moral legalism, for 'if severed from their source [Spirit].these treasures.lose proper expression and become vulnerable to our clever, even dark, designs.' Giver of Life preserves a flawless balance between its accessible theology and its praxis of the Spirit, who is ever working in our lives to bring about the 'new creation in Christ.the daily renewal of the inward man.'.
