Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth
by Richard Foster
HarperSanFrancisco (1978); 201 pages

Foster assumes his reader understands the context and purpose of the spiritual disciplines. Practical in nature, the book describes in relatively short chapters the methods and practices of each discipline. The book is extremely accessible, and it helps demystify the practice of the spiritual disciplines.

The table of contents itself presents a clear way of preaching the disciplines. This book will give immediately tangible and practical advice for engaging in the disciplines for spiritual development. For the preacher, then, the book is a guide for applying the more theoretical content of Willard and Mulholland.
