Richard Foster presents a refreshing look at the Christian disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration. As we read, we learn how central these disciplines are to experiential Christianity. The resulting zest for living the Christian life is truly uplifting. Foster draws from a wide range of Christian thought and does not restrict his writings to a particular sectarian view, giving us material of rare depth and breadth.
