I will not attempt to summarize everything Foster said.
Foster drew on a wealth of classic Christian writings to present a survey of the ways Christians can strengthen their walk with the almighty.įoster divides spiritual disciplines into three broad categories: the inward disciplines, the outward disciplines, and the corporate disciplines. As my father often says, “Love is the discipline!” Nevertheless, as anyone who has attempted to nurture a relationship knows, certain activities can fortify and deepen a bond. In that material, Henry Blackaby, my father, describes the Christian life as a love relationship, not a discipline. In one sense, this book seemingly runs counter to my own theology, which is exemplified in the book Experiencing God (aff). This book is a recognized classic in the field of spiritual disciplines, and it is widely used as a textbook. San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1978 reprint ed.
