The art of living is the least learned of all arts. Man has learned the art of existing, of getting by somehow with the demands of life, of escaping into half answers; but he knows little about the art of living, about being able to walk up to life, with all its demands, humbly conscious that he has within him a mastery that is able to face this business of living with adequacy. That is life's central lack. All others are marginal lacks. The modern man knows everything about life except how to live it! The thesis of this book will be: a group of ordinary people were mastered by the risen Christ moving into them in the Holy Spirit; and thus mastered, they moved out to master their circumstances and their relationships into a miniature kingdom of God. It is mastery, within and without., ISBN13: 9780687237340 ISBN10: 0687237343 Material Type: paperback
