Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life

Abstract

Thanks to all the pastors, teachers, Bible study leaders, the ministers to singles, college students, and youth, and all the other disciple-makers in all the local churches who used the first edition of this book. Thanks to all the students who have taken a Personal Spiritual Disciplines class with me in seminary and read Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life as a part of the course study. Thanks to all the students in colleges, universities, seminaries, and other educational institutions who have studied it as a textbook. Thanks to those around the world who have read the book in one of the non English versions. Thanks to all those who have read a digital copy of the original edition. Thanks to those who have listened to the audio version of the book. And thanks to everyone who is reading or listening to this revised and updated edition. Thanks to the many friends inside and outside of NavPress who helped with the original publication and revision of this book. You know who you are. Most important, so does the Lord (Hebrews 6:10). Thanks to Caffy, who patiently endured so much that this book might be written, and to both Caffy and Laurelen (who wasn’t born when the book was first written), who patiently endured so much that it might be revised. I am humbled and honored by you all.
