A Great Book to Encourage Your Christian Walk and Faith

"Celebration of Discipline" by Richard Foster focuses on various disciplines we can practice to deepen our Christian faith and walk with Christ. The disciplines are separated into 3 main areas:

1. The Inward Disciplines - Disciplines that focus on our own personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to temporarily disengage from this busy and noisy world (Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, Study).
2. The Outward Disciplines - Discplines that focus on others and preparing us to serve others (Simplicity, Solitude, Submission, Service).
3. The Coporate Disciplines - Disciplines we can practice with other believers as part of the Body of Christ (Confession, Worship, Guidance, Celebration).

My personal favorite was the chapter on solitude and how we can use our times alone with God to refresh and reenergize us to be of greater use by Him for His glory.

The book is readablle yet challenging and will make the reader think about his/her relationship with God. Read and be encouraged to grow deeper in the Lord!

Highly recommended.

Celebration of Discipline

This book is excellent. Foster opened up many doors to me that I had never seen before. I never knew that there were Spiritual Disciplines that would help me with my walk with Christ! But, now I know, and I am willing to take on the multiple challenges this book opened my eyes to.

Celebration of Discipline

This is a very inspirational book. For an indepth plan to live the right kind of life, this book puts you on the proper track. If you wonder if you are praying and worshipping correctly, please read this wonderful, easy to read, book.

Nothing like pressure

Hopefully, readers won't come away from this discouraged about the fact that they're undisciplined sluggards. :) This motivated me to try harder to exercise various elements of discipline, and learning self control is never a bad thing. If you've always thought that fasting sounds interesting but have never been motivated enough to try it, read this.

A book worth celebrating!!

How does one live a spiritually disciplined life? What can individuals do to embrace discipleship and enhance their spiritual growth? These are among the questions tackled by author Richard Foster in his book, Celebration of Discipline: the Path to Spiritual Growth. Of course, Foster has in mind not just any kind of spiritual growth, but specifically Christian spiritual growth.

In the first major segment of the book, Foster discusses inward disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting and study. In the second segment of the book, he discusses the disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission and service. In the final third of the book, he tackles the corporate disciplines of confession, worship, guidance and celebration here yet

The tone of the book is humble and helpful, not preaching or dogmatic. Underlying Foster's recommendations are the fact that spiritual growth is not a matter of working through a checklist but making sure that one's heart is in the right place along with the outward practices.

This book is a classic for anyone wishing to deepen their spiritual life and their relationship with God.
