Rone's Reviews > Streams of Living Water: Celebrating the Great Traditions of Christian Faith

Fosters book is wearisome to read and one is at times tempted to skip a page or two. But the basic values and truths of this book is beyond description. He ends his book with a lengthy historical background of the Roman Catholic Church as well as Protestantism which is good for all to have in their library. Yet I cannot really conclude which one of these he would award the prize for having most of the mentioned streams. In my opinion that does not matter for if I understand the conclusion of it all correctly these streams have little to do with the denomination but everything to do with the individual. For when I as an individual have drunk from the Living Water I have to become a living stream. The onus is on myself. Foster combined the lives of many brilliant and spiritually strong people to try and convey the beauty of a live that has been touched by Christ and understood the meaning of this. Pinning the label ‘Christian’ onto my lapel brings with it great responsibility and accountability. And this is to be lived and not just preached. May God have mercy on me…!
