Description

There are two reasons for this book. First, in today's world and Church, disciplined Christian lives are the exception, not the rule. This goes for men, women, and the professional clergy. The second reason for this book is that men are so much less spiritually inclined and spiritually disciplined than women. In writing this I have imagined my own grown sons sitting across the table, coffee cups in hand, as I try to impart to them what I think about the essential disciplines of godliness. We cannot overemphasize the importance of this call to spiritual discipline. Listen to Paul from 1 Timothy 4:7-8: "Train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." -- Introduction.
