Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life
by Donald S. Whitney
(NavPress 1991)
How would you like a road map for your Christian walk? That is exactly what Donald Whitney, a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, provides in Spiritual Disciplines For the Christian Life. Spiritual Disciplines are defined as disciplines that promote spiritual growth for the purpose of cultivating godliness in our Christian walk. Topics include the disciplines of reading the Bible, prayer, service, fasting, journaling, and how important learning is in our daily life. Whitney reaches out to Christians who have busy lives, he states that these disciplines “are the God-given means by which busy believers become like Christ.”
This book is easily read, but rich in content. I don’t normally write in my books, but after reading a few chapters I found myself highlighting many passages. This is a book that will be kept on my bookshelf and re-read yearly. Whitney will affirm what you are already doing, and encourage you in areas of struggle. If you like practical help in developing your Christian walk, I highly recommend reading this book and then re-reading it again!
