When I began to read this book, I assumed that Richard Foster was simply being extravagant and indulgent in the forward- lining up this book with the writings of Wesley, Luther & Augustine. He was NOT! The treatment of the texts, in both grammatical and contextual examination (the centerpiece of systematic theology), is astounding. But what is most amazing is the incredibly common-sense attack he makes on application of the "kingdom among us", the "heavens" and the beatitudes. Even great writing can rarely change a person's beliefs- this book will! "Divine Conspiracy" will not only force you to examine your own prejudices on many texts, it will call you to action.
I have read this book through 4 times and am about to start reading it a fifth. I have also used this book twice to guide a study group in a home. Both times, people are changed by the experience. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
The absolute best book, outside the Bible, I've read! Really!
