Touching the Bones of Elisha

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.
