Editorial Reviews

Review

"I have read several books on Lectio Divina, and this is by far the best one yet."

-- Leslie Ann McKinney, Africanus Journal, April 2013

"In this helpful, practical book, the authors introduce you to lectio divina, a way of approaching Scripture that draws you to God by helping you encounter him and hear him speak to you in life-transforming ways. Their simple, easy-to-follow explanation of this ancient practice provides a perfect foundation for you to begin meeting God in his Word as you read, meditate, pray, and contemplate. Discover a new experience of God?s Word?one that leads you to experience more of God himself."

-- Significant Living, November 2012

"A most welcome and welcoming book! Wilhoit and Howard, like trustworthy spiritual directors, invite readers to feast in the house of prayer, in which, they tell us, lectio divina resides. As we read, Jesus? disciples, early desert followers of Christ, Reformers, scholars, monks and ordinary Christians join us at the table of God's penetrating, sanctifying Word. Wise and nourishing, Discovering Lectio Divina is for all who seek to grow in faith."

-- Susan S. Phillips, Ph.D, professor of Christian spirituality, New College Berkeley, and author of Candlelight: Illuminating the Art of Spiritual Direction

"Evan Howard and Jim Wilhoit not only give us a manual for lectio divina but, more importantly, offer us a practical spirituality of the Word, steeped in the tradition of our ancestors. By reminding us of Martin Luther's understanding of theology as living Scripture in the midst of our difficulties, they challenge us to give birth to the Word we read and pray. This is the fundamental task of Christian spiritual formation."

-- Albert Haase, O.F.M., author of Athanasius: The Life of Antony of Egypt, a Paraphrase

"The authors befriend the Word in such a way that we become better friends of God and more committed members of our faith community. With the help of grace, they convince us that we may be granted as the fruit of such reading a life of active contemplation and contemplative action, moving from lectio to conversio, that is, the conversion of mind and heart to Christ."

-- Susan Muto, Ph.D., dean, Epiphany Academy of Formative Spirituality and author of A Practical Guide to Spiritual Reading

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I usually think of my fifty-some years of life as a series of "conversions" in which new layers of divine beauty are blended with previous layers. Consequently, although I wrote the chapter on "Evangelical Spirituality" for the Four Views on Christian Spirituality volume, I consider myself primarily an ecumenical. I learn and teach in association with a variety of traditions. I have a Ph.D. in Christian spirituality from Graduate Theological Union, a M.A. in Christian spirituality from Gonzaga University, a M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and a B.A. in "Understanding the Individual and Society" (philosophy related liberal arts degree) from Whitworth College. I teach philosophy at Colorado Mesa University and I teach spirituality worldwide. I like to serve new monastic groups whenever I can. I enjoy music, especially singing with Cheri, my wife (we have been singing together since high school). Cheri and I have been exploring what some call "simple" and "semi-monastic" living since we were married thirty-four years ago. We love gardening, building things, and messing around with traditional crafts. In 1996 I started a non-profit called Spirituality Shoppe and have used this organization as the framework around which I write, teach, lead retreats, and do other similar activities. I like to write papers about what I am studying, practical materials that can be helpful for people's lives, and reflections about interesting topics. I am partly done with an introduction to philosophy. And I am about ready to explore the world of communication through audio and video media.
