About this title

About the Author:

Though actually an ordained elder, the late Bob Benson, Sr. was best known as a lay preacher at retreats and other gatherings. Having spent thirty years in the family music business, Bob was well known for his abilities to communicate the deepest truths of the gospel in simple, family-oriented ways. Bob succombed to cancer after a thirteen year battle. This fight led him inwardly and quickly became the catalyst for much spiritual growth in his life. A husband and father of five, Benson was a successful author having penned these other titles: Laughter in the Walls, Come Share the Being, Somethings' Goin' on Here, In Quest of the Shared Life, He Speaks Softly, See You At the House, and The Journey Home.

Michael Benson is an itinerant minister traveling weekly preaching in local churches, on college campuses and at retreats. Focusing on the formative work of God, his message is insightful and articulate and is popularly received. He and his wife Gwen live in Hendersonville, Tennessee with their three children.

Review:

Devotional guides tend to lean to one of two extremes: the head or the heart. Some are intellectually stimulating, others are emotional and touching. Some move you to think, others move you to tears. Few move you to both. This one does. Disciplines for the Inner Life speaks to the head and the heart--stretching both mind and faith. -- Max Lucado

Disciplines for the Inner Life is a trustworthy guide for those who want to live faithfully and fully as Christian disciples because it was compiled by trusted guides who know the way home. A creative, productive, and faithful spiritual life requires some structure. Disciplines for the Inner Life provides that basic structure and the wisdom and insight of the century in one volume. -- Bishop Reuben Job

It's depth and breadth make it not only an inexhaustible pantry of food for the spirit, but also a portable library of the richest gleanings from the greatest souls who ever expressed a passion for a deeper life. -- Gloria Gaither
