Arguably the most established contemporary spiritual classic by our most profound living religious writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurately described as a Quaker classic, 10 Dec 2003
By Johan Maurer (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Richard Foster is probably this age's best selling Quaker author and his books represent the best insights of the Quakerism that prevails in most of the world - not just the USA - although not in the UK.

This book, Celebration of Discipline, caught grief from both liberals and fundamentalists (within and outside Quakers). The liberals sometimes object to his biblical emphasis, and the fundamentalists sometimes object to his "political" advocacy of social concern as well as to his use of meditative disciplines. In fact, the inclusion of meditation in his writings (very congenial to Friends/Quakers) resulted in a brief campaign to have him excluded as a speaker from some evangelical events.

However, many of us appreciate his gracious, tender approach, his willingness to be self-disclosing, and his humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal Spiritual development in the Christian tradition, 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
The Christian faith has become such a broad religion that many Christians have very vague ideas about 'how' to develop the spiritual side of their faith. Richard Foster concisely explores the rich traditional breadth of the faith and presents 12 different 'disciplines' which he believes all Christians should be learning how to practice and develop. Through the disciplines we allow ourselves to be open to receive God's presence and God's gracious mercy to help us become changed for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Usless, unless you love Jesus and want to love him more ;), 16 Sep 2007
By T. AUBREY-JONES "tajmiester" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is absoutely usless, unless you love Jesus and want to love him more ;) A great book, thats strength lies in its practicality. A book to read slowly and try to live as you go. If you want a packet of spiritual fast food this isnt for you, but if you are ready to try your hand at some good old fashion radical discipleship this is just what you want.

Health advice: not to be read with a legalistic religious spirit, but rather secure under grace. Not trying to change to justify oneself, but seeking to come alive in love for him.
