Product Description

Richard Foster explains why he believes that the classical spiritual disciplines such as mediation, submission and fasting are the only true ways to promote a deep inner life and infuse it with over whelming joy. Arguably the most established contemporary spiritual classic by our most profound living religious writer.

About the Author
Richard Foster is a best-selling author, the founder of RENOVARAe - a movement committed to spiritual renewal - and Professor of Spiritual Formation at Azusa Pacific University, California.

From AudioFile
Originally written in 1978 by a professor of theology and updated several times since, Foster's book is a well-written exploration of the central spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith. The disciplines are grouped into three types--the inward disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study; the outward disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service; and the corporate or community disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration. All are elaborated with conversational clarity and down-to-earth biblical references. They sparkle with the author's eclectic Christian sensibilities. Delightfully read, the words and tone will please C.S. Lewis fans or anyone looking for a practical and nondogmatic spiritual foundation.

Celebration of Discipline5
This is a classic in Christian literature and is still very relevant! This book helps make very clear the importance of incorporating the disciplines of the Christian faith into everyday life. Thankfully it does not make one feel guilty, but rather inspires to a deeper relationship with God.
Thanks Richard Foster.
