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
