LONGWOOD, FL-Author David E. Ross brings a half century of real missionary experience to A Table Before Me: The Meditating Christian (paperback, 978-1-60266-206-3; hardcover, 978-1-60266-207-0), a treatise on how effective biblical meditation will provide the church with a balance of strong biblical scholarship and spiritual experience. Such a balance is all too rare in a world where Christian meditation is often forgotten or neglected, but it is vital to a solid understanding of the Bible.
Says Ross, "I hope this book will challenge readers to become those whose ears are daily awakened to hear from the God who speaks, and that by so doing they will be drawn nearer to God and be used by Him to build up His church and to draw others to Him."
The book's journey began in the mid 1970s, when Ross and his wife were missionaries in Korea. Through the Korean people they discovered the dynamic secret of effective ministry and translated it to paper in A Table Before Me. Ross believes the principles of meditation learned from these many hundreds of people are universal, and that meditation on the Word of God, empowered and guided by the Holy Spirit, actually enables the reader to listen to God daily and enter into deeper communion with Him.
David E. Ross has taught biblical meditation on every continent of the world and is in constant demand as a speaker and teacher on this vital subject. "I have raised up and trained many missionaries who are bearing fruit throughout the world," says Ross, "and I have helped equip thousands of lay Christians who are effectively serving their churches."
