![]() Each person is different and will approach the disciplines in their unique personality. While the Celebration of Discipline is not so much a ‘how-to’, Foster trusts the Holy Spirit to guide the readers in how to apply each discipline to their own lives. ![]() Foster writes, “the primary requirement is a longing after God.” He goes on to say, “by themselves the Spiritual Disciplines can do nothing they can only get us to the place where something can be done.” While they can be hard work, they should not lead us into slavery but greater freedom. The disciplines are not our attempts to earn God’s pleasure, but they also do not come naturally. Foster finds a nice blend of God’s role and our roles in Christian activities. This book isn’t a detailed review on how to do these different disciplines of the faith, but instead Foster encourages believer to partake of the blessing found in them. While I remembered liking the book, most of the gems found within were either forgotten or not gleaned from that first pass. ![]() ![]() This was my second time through the book, but the previous time was several years ago. Recently I was encouraged by a friend to reread Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. ![]()
