Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places

To my surprise,I can borrow Eugene Peterson's book " Christ plays in ten thousand places " from the Mei Foo Library.

I have read it before from a brother who sent it as a gift book.I read now again with Book Review on websites and found the following words noteworthy and helpful for our reflections :

" The meteoric ascendancy of interest in spirituality in recent decades is largely fueled by a profound dissatisfaction with approaches to life that are either

Aridly rationalistic, consisting of definitions, explanations, diagrams, and instructions (whether by psychologists, pastors, theologians, or strategic planners), or

Impersonally functional, consisting of slogans, goals, incentives, and programs
(whether by advertisers, coaches, motivational consultants, church leaders, or evangelists).

There comes a time for most of us when we discover a deep desire within us to live from the heart what we already know in our heads and do with our hands.”

Spiritual theology

It is different from systematic theology
because it seeks to apply as well as inform.

It is distinct from devotional literature
because it looks more deeply at the Biblical text

It is more convicting than pastoral reflection
because it sounds like the Prophets, with insightful application in light of Christ's atonement and resurrection.
