Richard J. Foster‘s Study Guide for "Celebration of Discipline"

Richard J. Foster provides a series of brief, incisive essays that expand the discussion begun in Celebration of Discipline. They focus and clarify key issues, and encourage a fuller understanding and practice of the Spiritual Disciplines. Each essay is followed by Scripture passages to enhance our appreciation of the Disciplines in the light of the Bible, along with study questions that facilitate careful reading of the original text and stimulate thought and discussion. Foster has also provided an annotated bibliography that suggests directions for further study. Ideal for personal or group reflection, this concise guide takes us beyond merely reading about the Disciplines and helps us make them an effective opportunity for spiritual growth. Richard J. Foster is the author of several bestselling books, including Celebration of Discipline, Streams of Living Water, and Prayer, which in 1993 was Christianity Today‘s Book of the Year and the winner of the Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. He is the founder of Renovaré, an intrachurch movement committed to the renewal of the Church in all her multifaceted expressions, and the editor of the Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible.
