Touching the Bones of Elisha (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781666760743)

In this book, Franciscan priest Fr. Albert Haase, OFM, and Protestant pastor Phil Vestal bring to life nine spiritual practices from the life and ministry of the ancient Hebrew prophet Elisha--practices later promoted by Jesus, Paul, and subsequent figures in the history of Christian spirituality. These spiritual practices point directly to important themes in spiritual formation: -The call of God -Healing -Perseverance in the face of opposition -Gratitude and charity -Prayer, petition, and intercession -The tension between obedience to the law and Jesus' command to love -Living with the awareness of God's investment in every human endeavor -God's ever-present grace and protection in the face of trials and tribulations -Mercy Based upon incidents in the life of an ancient prophet, these nine practices are life-giving bones that God uses to instill new spirit and creativity in the contemporary believer.
