Abundant Simplicity

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Time and possessions, words and worries are the raw material that comprise daily life. They are also the places where students of Jesus often experience the 'simplicity gap'--the distance between their desire for simplicity and their experience of it. In Abundant Simplicity Jan Johnson wisely, gently and creatively demonstrates how that raw material of ordinary living can be transformed into extraordinary kingdom living through experiments and adventures in simplicity. This is a book of lived truth and uncommon yet simple wisdom.”

Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Dave Ripper knows and loves the Scriptures, and he knows and loves Dallas Willard. With the heart of a pastor, the insight of a biblical scholar, and the skill of a biographer, Dave becomes the channel through which his love and knowledge are forged by the grace and power of the Spirit into this truly remarkable offering for apprentices of Jesus. I sense Dallas smiling over this book and saying, with a wink to Dave, 'You got it!'”

Meeting God in Scripture

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Jan does something few contemporary lectio guides do: she preserves the discipline of study that was part of the ancient tradition of lectio divina by providing historical and cultural background for the chosen texts. Her selection of passages is nothing short of brilliant—theologically central, experientially deep, and comprehensively transformational. This guide can be the spark that causes the Word of God to be a fire in your bones once again.”
