Introduction

If we are to nurture a heart that treats every person, ourselves included, as a “Thou” instead of “It,” we need to be intentional about our lives. By ordering our lives to contemplate the love of Christ and to receive the love of Christ, we will be able to give the love of Christ away to others. In this way, he transforms our lives into a gift to our families, friends, coworkers, and for intentionally developing our spiritual lives. Nurturing a growing spirituality in our present-day culture calls for a thoughtful, conscious, purposeful plan. To do this well requires us to uncover another ancient buried treasure—a “Rule of Life.”
