Book Review
Spiritual Disciplines for the
Christian Life,
by Donald S. Whitney
As stated in the book's title, this book
discusses spiritual disciplines for those who follow Jesus.
Spiritual disciplines are willing and intentional actions that promote
spiritual growth, making us more like Jesus. They should not be
thought of actions that earn us anything, get God's attention, or are an
attempt to manipulate God into doing what we want, but rather as
training that draws us closer to God and prepares us to better serve
him.
Ten such spiritual disciplines are discussed
in this book: Bible "intake" (that is, reading, studying, memorizing,
and meditating on the Bible), prayer, worship, evangelism, serving,
stewardship, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and learning.
Each is expertly covered in detail and through practical example.
This book is a great primer for anyone who
is serious about more fully following Jesus and being his disciple.
