Celebration of Discipline by Richard J. Foster (1988, Hardcover)

Celebration of Discipline walks you through simple but effective steps towards a closer walk with Christ. Nuts and bolts: Easy tools that work. Learn to hear from God more often, to be changed from the inside out! Includes scripture references at the end of each chapter, to look up and apply. Completely biblical. Stresses the importance of being changed by God's Holy Spirit; anything we've accomplished through self-will alone will not hold up in the end. Great book.

This book is a great book for someone who is serious about potentially changing their life. Cliche Christianity is what this book is trying to shy you away from. It has a very uplifting approach that is encouraging. This book is not just a fun read, you must be willing to actually try some of the advice given in the book. It will make a great impact on your Christian spirituality.

I purchased this book a little over a month ago for school purposes. I was impressed by the condition it was in. For the price, this was an excellent purchase. Thank you for a quick and smooth transaction. I would recommend this seller to future buyers.

This is a classic book about living the Christian life, written by a Quaker ,and first published in 1978. The spiritual disciplines which include, meditation, prayer, study, worship, and service, are not meant to be religious duties or rules to follow, but instead are meant to bring the blessings of God into our lives. We can walk in the Blessing and receive all God has for us if we are open to a deeper relationship with Him. This book is for every Christian. Thomas Merton said, "We do not want to be beginners. But let us be convinced of the fact that we will never be anything else but beginners, all our life!"
The apostle Paul writes in Philippians 3:12-14 about not having achieved perfection, but of his desire to press on towards what lies ahead. I think this book will help towards the goal of pressing on. We are on a journey. We haven't arrived, but we have left.
I had been looking for this book online and found a beautiful, like new, 20th anniversary edition on e-bay for a fraction of the retail price. This edition includes an introduction by Richard Foster that tells the story of how the book came about, which is very interesting.

This seller is a very good seller. The seller shipped the item very quickly. I have no complaints about this seller

This book has many good points in it, however it is very hard to read. This book is one that I had to spend more time reading. It has very good material in it and makes many interesting points. I would recommend reading it.

The seller did a great job. Product was as described and it got here quick. I would definitely buy again from this seller on any occasion.

Great book for anyone who desires a deeper relationship with God and is willing to pay a price in order to experience it. It deals with Christian disciplines in an up-to-date manner along with practical help in exercising them. Highly recommend.

I really gained a lot of great ideas about living a life closer to God. Not your usual superficial Christian living, this really makes you dig deeper into your heart and your intentions. I bought the book because my Bible Study group had thought about doing a review of the book but decided not to. I thought the title sounded like something I would be interested in and I was. It was everything I was hoping for and much more.

The product came in great condition, i couldn't wait to start reading it. Would do business again with the seller in the future. Speedy delivery of the ittem, again, book came in great condition.

The cover is in great condition, and the delivery was in a short timely manner. I will be back to order from them again.

I bought this book to teach a bible study I lead, of High School Senior Guys, what things are going to be essential to their spiritual growth when they head off to college; it has worked absolutely wonderfully!

Foster's practical insights to "common" Christian Spiritual Disciplines are biblically based and inspiring. The ease at which he explains and shows our need for spiritual discipline allows any reader (who is teachable and open) to grasp the absolute necessity of such disciplines as they function to sustain one's heart, life, and long-term spiritual health and growth.

An essential classic that practically shows the need for and applys the foundational spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith.

I bought the book because it is a guide for life change. It was a book that I feel needs to be ready by every Christian.

This book looks kind of boring from the outside. However, it is (probably the most important)one of the three books that have changed my life the most. It is a book describing some of the different,very basic ways you can connect with God on a very personal level. (Fresh and Simple approaches to Prayer, Christian Meditation, Fasting, Community, Solitude, and more.) In this contact, God changes you. Richard Foster has a very unique, easy to read writing style. He is very easy-going, and uses humor. I actually got this book for a neighbor, because I already have one. It is one of my most treasured possessions; I could read it over and over.

The book was in good condition just like it was promised. I appreciated the fact that they shipped it right on time. I am very pleased with the product and will definitely buy from the same person again.

This product was kept in very good condition and i bought this book because it was the cheapest. Also the book came in when it was supposed to.
