Indepth discipleship

This is a wonderful, thought provoking, action evoking devotional. Because of its indepth nature, I use it as a weekly devotional, reading and rereading the selection throughout the week and working on one of the action items. Devotional Classics is an excellent choice for intentional discipleship.

Devotional Classics

I had read this particular book at another house and was so enthralled with it that I wanted one for my Library and I am giving one for a birthday
present.I probably would not have bought it had I not seen it first.

Great intro to spiritual growth

Due to the fact that I was in an abusive church, I tended to distrust anything that smacked of mysticism or spirituality that bypassed the brain. Nevertheless, I have been more open of late to works that attempt to speak more to the heart and not just the head - to the whole person, if you will. This is a great intro to this end giving good pieces that are worth meditating on.

For me, I ignore the questions. I don't need more "do the following steps to be spiritual". I find just reading each piece slowly over and over for a week or so allows me to move the truths from just an intellectual understanding to change in the heart and will.
