Description: Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline has helped more than a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Author Richard Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that true spiritual growth can be achieved. The Inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer opportunities for personal inventory and change. The Outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help us to make the world a better place. The Corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth. Richard J. Foster, a Quaker, is the author of several bestselling books, including Freedom of Simplicity and Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home, which in 1993 was Christianity Today's Book of the Year and won the Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers' Association. He is the founder of Renovare, an infrachurch movement committed to the renewal of the Church in all her multifaceted expressions. He lives with his wife, Carolynn, in Denver, Colorado. "If everybody in this country could read - and heed - this book, what a difference it would make to the planet; nay, to the cosmos." -Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time
