Written over twenty-five years ago, and proclaimed by Christianity Today as one of the ten best books of the twentieth century, the influence of Celebration of Discipline is all but incalculable.
In his book, Richard Foster looks at the classic spiritual disciplines but in a fresh new way that, for a layman, represents a new dimension in trying to live a good, decent, upright life in a world where it seems everyone else is following the path of least resistance. His treatment of meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance and celebration gives new and extremely valuable insights into these disciplines which bring order to the chaos we too often find when struggling with spiritual issues.
