About this audiobook
We aren't meant to wait for holiness-we're meant to pursue it. God commands Christians to actively "be holy," but what does that look like in daily life? Rather than overwhelming legalism or loose boundaries, Don Whitney encourages us to find a practical middle ground through biblical habits.
Don Whitney's convicting insight on spiritual disciplines will challenge you to grow in new ways as a Christian. Now updated and revised, this edition offers practical suggestions for cultivating spiritual growth, diving into practices such as: absorbing Scripture, prayer, worship, Evangelism, serving, fasting, silence and solitude, journaling, and more.
Regardless of where you are in your Christian walk, this anniversary edition provides refreshing and profound encouragement for your spirit.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very helpful and balanced (doing these things as mere duty will be useless) look at a number of disciplines that a believer will gain benefit from. A few of the practices were quite new ideas for me and have challenged me significantly. Very worthwhile.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you want to be a true follower of Christ and/or are looking for practical ways to follow His word in order to be a stronger more devout Christian than this is a must read. Not only does is clearly and easily go thru what the disciplines are but also gives practical applications on how to involve them in your life.
