It was highlighted quite a bit from the first time I read it, and like several books I’ve read this year, I think this one will be added to my 'repeat' list - I think it’s important for me to read this again, and again. These disciplines are well explained. I added fasting into my habit two weeks again when i read that chapter, and already I’ve found it to be a deeply meaningful experience. If you’re looking to refresh your Christian faith, read this book and make a deliberate effort to practice one of the discipline Foster writes about. I’m won’t be disappointed.

Entretanto, foi exatamente essa a combinação que Richard Foster conseguiu produzir. Impregnado pelos clássicos devocionais, o autor apresenta-nos um estudo cuidadoso que será apreciado ainda por muito tempo. Classificando as disciplinas em três movimentos do Espírito Santo, o autor mostra como cada uma delas contribui para uma vida espiritual equilibrada. As disciplinas interiores levam os famintos de Deus a uma transformação genuína. As disciplinas exteriores são um reflexo das prioridades do Reino de Deus em seus filhos. As disciplinas comunitárias lembram-nos de que é na comunhão entre os cristãos que nos aproximamos mais de Deus. A tad heavy in places, but overall a very inspiring and encouraging read. The apparent oxymoron in the title is the theme of the book: that by willingly submitting to a variety of spiritual disciplines - from solitude to corporate worship - we grow closer to God, more at peace, and more in harmony with who we are supposed to be. While I didn't agree with every word, much of this book resonated strongly. There's a good balance of Scriptural example, personal anecdote and very gentle direct teaching. The author is not at all authoritarian, and his advice comes in the form of suggestion rather than commands. In those of the 'disciplines' he sees as corporate, he sets out important guidelines, including complete acceptance and non-judgementalism. Definitely recommended. Longer review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2020/12/celebration-of-discipline-by-richar... As someone who didn't grow up a Christian, his practical guide of how to use a discipline was extremely helpful. The chapters on meditation and prayer were especially meaningful to me. However, there were several parts that were just plain rambling. Some sections could have even been cut. Still a good book though. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
