Description
Action in Waiting by Christoph Blumhardt explores the heart of faith and its practical application. This book strips away the superficial aspects of modern piety to reveal a more authentic, earthy approach to spirituality. Blumhardt's writing is marked by fervent passion, yet it encourages rather than intimidates. His ideas have influenced prominent theologians, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth. Here, he presents an 'active expectation' of God's kingdom, highlighting that the object of our hope is not limited to an afterlife. In this book, Blumhardt shows us that the reality of God's kingdom can be present in our world today, if we are prepared to receive it.
