Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Book excerpt: You've heard it all before. The promises for a better life get tiresome after awhile, because you know they don't deliver. However, they do touch on a profound and inescapable truth. You were created to live your life out of a rewarding, richly textured relationship with God and others--and deep down, you long to experience that kind of life. But how? Are you willing to devote sixty days to finding out? Soul Revolution may be one of the most important books you'll ever read. In it, author and pastor John Burke guides you on a journey of experiential discovery. Called the "60-60 Experiment," it has already made a profound impact on thousands who have discovered what it means to actually "do life" with God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tightly packed but eminently graspable book is full of new, original, and unique ideas for highly personal, deeply spiritual happiness that will appeal to both religious and nonreligious individuals. Basing its premises in values--and everyone has values--it offers broad avenues and private pathways to achieve a variety of sustained, empowering, exalted, and expansive "Soul Celebration" experiences that are singular to every individual because each person's value system is exclusively theirs alone. In addition, it offers smaller, simpler "Spiritual Snacks" to provide instantly available, delectable bits of spiritual nourishment and inspirational energy for those wishing to "spur-of-the-moment" experience the wondrous joys of being alive and active in today's whirlwind world. Note: Many people experience spiritual snacks without identifying them, but until we are conceptually aware of them we cannot own them as precious moments of ever-recurring moral renewal. Our essential self-created or accepted value center defines our distinctive personhood. This interior core can be activated by external stimuli into experiences of sustained secular spiritual bliss, which become celebrations of our one-and-only individualized Self. How? By connecting to and uniting--becoming "One"--with three "other" here-on-earth entities that can stimulate our value center both emotionally and physically: nature, art, and romantically beloved humans. These three, and only these three, open gateways that can provide the highest renewal to the essence--the soul--of Selfhood in a secular manner. But however we approach spirituality--religiously or secularly--at root the subject concerns the fundamentals that constitute a good and right life to pursue for the greatest satisfaction and happiness. Especially in the context of current cultural and global strife, it is more important than ever for all individuals to create for themselves a loving, soul-satisfying private life untouchable by external events. Fortunately, an exquisite state of stability within the present turmoil--a personal "Still Point" in the global storm--can be achieved by everyone regardless of situational context, allowing each individual to seek and select their own paths to inalienable, self-created happiness. Religious individuals of all creeds can add these enthralling pleasures to their already existing faith-based experiences. Nonreligious individuals can experience the heights of emotional-physiological-spiritual (mind, body, and soul) exaltation usually unimagined in a secular environment, thus uplifting their normal levels of pleasure to the summit of passionate earthly joy. All can discover new, enlivening, and soul-stirring experiences for personal happiness and spiritual fulfillment. Following is the dedication in this book which says it all: This book is dedicated to men and women committed to reason but sense there may be something missing and men and women of faith who sense there may be something more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan Foster has lived with the spiritual disciplines all his life, but has had to find his own unique path. As he sought - sometimes rebelliously - to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both personal and universal. Gradually he discovered creative new ways to practice disciplines such as fasting, meditation and simplicity, to live as Jesus lived. With a foreword from Nathan's father Richard, who provides a fresh introduction to each of the disciplines, The Making of an Ordinary Saint invites us to be formed into the likeness of Christ's character.
