Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard J. Foster

Over the centuries, devout believers have sought for the best ways to bring their lives and thoughts closer to God. Richard Foster points the way to a new level of spiritual maturity through a rediscovery of the time-honored disciplines of Christian devotion.Foster provides a wealth of examples to demonstrate how daily practice of the inward disciplines of meditation and prayer, the outward discipline of simplicity, and the corporate discipline of celebration can help us toward inner transformation. He demonstrates how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our lives and discusses how celebration, often the most neglected of the spiritual disciplines, stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline guides all Christians to an enriched spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deep understanding of God.
