In *Spiritual Disciplines Handbook* Adele Calhoun gives us directions for our continuing journey toward intimacy with Christ. While the word discipline may make us want to run and hide, the author shows how desires and discipline work together to lead us to the transformation we're longing for - the transformation only Christ can bring. Instead of just giving information about spiritual disciplines, this handbook is full of practical, accessible guidance that helps you actually practice them.
With over 80,000 copies in print, this well-loved catalog of seventy-five disciplines has been revised throughout and expanded to include thirteen new disciplines along with a new preface by the author.
Mothers, fathers, plumbers, nurses, students - we're all on a journey. And spiritual disciplines are for all of us who desire to know Christ deeply and be like him. Here is direction for our desire, leading us to the ultimate destination: more of Christ himself.
Reviews of previous edition:
"I have long profited from Adele Ahlberg Calhoun's gifts in the field of spiritual development, and I am delighted that she has compiled her experience with spiritual disciplines into book form. I highly recommend it and I look forward to using it as a resource at our church."- Dr. Timothy Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, NYC.
"A treasure of tried and true spiritual practices written well enough for everyone from the novice to the master to use." - *Publishers Weekly* September 26, 2005.
"A practical guide to a wide range of disciplines from the classical practices of prayer, worship, meditation, and scripture study to more contemporary disciplines such as mentoring, journaling, unplugging, and accountability partners. A readable and accessible introduction to the practice of the spiritual disciplines." - Elizabeth R. Pearson, *The Christian Librarian*, vol. 52, 2009.

I am a prayer warrior and found this unique book recommended. I gives you guidelines, equips you and helps you grow in over 70 spiritual disciplines and points out their specific desire, scriptures , practice options and how you can produce spiritual fruits. In addition it gives you an explanation of each discipline, reflection and exercises and resources. I used this book to study each spiritual discipline, learn and create a daily prayer. You can use this book as daily devotion, as connect group leader, ladies group seminar leader, start a workshop in your church to help others grow in their spiritual discipline etc. It helps you draw near Jesus our Saviour, grow in your faith to the Father Almighty and experience the Holy Spirit how he manifest glory in you. This book makes you hungry and thirsty for more but also brings such spiritual wealth into your life. I can highly recommend this book for you or as a great gift for ministers, group connect leader or youth leader. This book brings you to a higher realm in your walk in God's kingdom on earth and you will walk under open heaven when you read it
