Contents:

The spiritual disciplines: door to liberation -- The inward disciplines. Meditation ; Prayer ; Fasting ; Study -- The outward disciplines. Simplicity ; Solitude ; Submission ; Service -- The corporate disciplines. Confession ; Worship ; Guidance ; Celebration.

Summary: Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help prepare 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. --
