A Book You Learned From
I have read a lot of books and many taught me something.
Yet, when I saw this prompt one book immediately came to mind.
I read this book the first time when it was published in 1978.
I have read it several times since.
The book is in three parts:
1) The Inward Disciplines
2) The Outward Disciplines
3) The Corporate Disciplines
In each section, the author has treasures to share with the reader.
Probably the most surprising thing I learned from this book
is that discipline is not a dirty word?
It is a beautiful word.
If you are looking for a book to challenge your spiritual life
and learn ways to expand and enhance your worship
read this book.
I am grateful I found this book 37 years ago
and now I am going to read it again.

I have read it 4 or 5 times over the years and have learned something every time. I am reading it again now and it is still teaching me.
I love when a book changes you, makes you think or rethink and begs reading again. Thanks for sharing this title, Patricia. ❤ ❤
It was a catalyst for change in my spiritual discipline…of which I had no idea how to pursue.
That’s why I l.o.v.e. books.

I agree with Patricia.
One oft favorites too Patricia. I have used this book as a class twice. It is a must read.
It would make a great group study! How smart of you to use it. I am reading it again now.
