I agree that we as Christians need discipline. That ...
Derived From Web , May 3, 2022
Discipline is the key to success in the Christian world. The two terms are related because the apostle Paul was also known as the disciple. However, there was a sense of being a bit overburdened by the book. It's great to be back home, said Dr. Goin, "but perhaps that says something about me and I will take it up again at another time."

Good book, perhaps a little longer than it needs to be..
Derived From Web , Nov 19, 2018
There is a lot of excellent direction and explanation in this book, especially in the first half, he said. The second half ends with a thudding thud. Worth reading as the discussion of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus is of great value, he said. The Church today seems to favor a more passive approach to salvation, but the Bible calls us to follow in Jesus’ example. The book is helpful if you want to know more about the Christian faith.

excellent, but...
Derived From Web , Apr 11, 2018
New York Times best-selling novelist Michael Green's "Fantastic Book" was also a hit. However, with all due respect, I believe he missed the whole point of monasticism and asceticism, and evaluated people and events without historical support. I also noticed a change in word usage in the second chapter. It's still an excellent book, Simon says.

Not what I was hoping for.
Derived From Web , Mar 31, 2018
It's a tough read, even for seasoned journalists. If it wasn't recommended by a reputable friend, I would have changed it to a non-fictional version. I was interested in how God changes lives through the spiritual disciplines, he said. History of religion is not that great. There was a chapter that focused on what I was seeking, he said. The rest was information I wasn't interested in, he said.

Where theology, philosophy, and practicality meet
Derived From Web , Feb 21, 2018
He has a wonderful way of connecting the dots between the worlds of philosophy, theology, and practicality. This book really does get to the heart, or the spirit if you will, of the disciplines and why we must employ them if we want to truly change, he said. It's great to be enriched and stretched, even if only for a few minutes. This book will be of great help to anyone who wants to go deeper into life with Christ.
