highly recommended

One of the best discipleship books available

Along with J.G. Marking's "A Voice Is Calling," there is no better book to study by yourself or in a group regarding how the spiritual disciplines can dramatically, actually transform our lives.

Foster's ability to define the simplest of truths while revealing their power and applicability is truly amazing.

If you like Dallas Willard or J.G. Marking, this book is for you. I definitely agree that this and the one above are great for bible studies or groups because they both open up a discussion about how to grow closer to God.

Obedience resulting in transformation...

"The Disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us." With this line, Foster correctly positions this book as a tool for all Christians to use as part of their spiritual journey. I read this book almost ten years ago and still find it to be one of the most useful, practical and challenging books I've ever read. Celebration of Discipline is a treasure for the Christian who wants to draw closer to God.

Foster breaks down the spiritual disciplines into three categories: (1) The Inward Disciplines: Meditation, Prayer, Fasting and Study; (2) The Outward Disciplines: Simplicity, Solitude, Submission and Service; (3) The Corporate Disciplines: Confession, Worship, Guidance and Celebration.

At just over 200 pages, the book is a pretty easy read - about a 5 on the difficulty scale of 1-10. I would suggest that this book as a great gift for a student as young as eighth grade - and there is no upper age limit for this great resource. I have the HarperSanFrancisco 20th Anniversary Edition - and there is now a 25th Anniversary Edition as well - this book has been blessing generations of Christians for over 25 years! You should be able to purchase this book online or in any Christian or mainstream bookstore for $15 - $20. It will be one of your most treasured resources and makes an excellent gift to another brother or sister in Christ.

Celebration of Dicipline: The Path to Spirtual Growth

Excellent book. The author has a basic, sensible style of writing that makes what he is saying very clear.

Classic Wisdom

Foster's profound insights on living out the spiritual disciplines in a sustainable way still work after all these years. By tweaking his classic volume for the 21st century the author has helped Christians everywhere understand how the "yoke" of following Jesus can become light. Genius!
