I just started to read The Divine Embrace: Recovering the Passionate Spiritual Life by Robert Webber. He states, "The heart of biblical and ancient spirituality is our mystical union with God accomplished by Jesus through the Spirit...Christian spirituality then, simply put, is God's embrace of us; our passionate embrace of God." Perhaps, I will engage this more in the days ahead. I was also thinking of interacting more with Mark Vernon's chapter on "The Spirituality of Friendship," too.
