This book was recommended by a pastor at my church when the small group I attend wanted to learn more about spiritual disciplines. Whitney covers twelve of them in this book: Scripture Readings, Prayer, Worship, Scripture Meditation, Evangelism, Serving, Stewardship, Scripture Application, Fasting, Silence & Solitude, Journaling, and Learning. Practicing these, says Whitney, will help a person grow in godliness.

I learned a lot from studying this book. It is especially good for a group study. We finished it up last week, but there are still many lessons I want to apply to my life. I highly recommend this title. ( )

The book is an excellent resource for any Christian struggling to walk with God. Whitney writes clearly using multiple Scriptural references. He also incorporates historical examples of each discipline. It's a practical book for a crazy world. There are times that I found the book extremely simplistic (I desired something more theological), but it is written for those who are struggling to live Godly. ( )
