Richard Foster - Celebration of Discipline

A landmark of a book for its time. This book started a whole new wave of books focusing on the spiritual disciplines for the Christian life.

Richard Foster has become one of the key figures for spiritual formation within our generation.

He basically divides up the spiritual disciplines into 3 main parts:

Inward Disciplines

  • Meditation
  • Prayer
  • Fasting
  • Study
Outward Disciplines

  • Simplicity
  • Solitude
  • Submission
  • Service
Corporate Disciplines

  • Confession
  • Worship
  • Guidance
  • Celebration
So if you want to understand these areas and grow in them, this is a great place to start. It's a helpful book for new Christians as well as those who need to brush up on some basics. This has become a modern-day classic, so I highly recommend this one for your library as well. You can visit his website for more info.
