A handsome like-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing no discernible flaws. Virtually 'As New'. The DJ shows the mildest rubbing to the panels; the price has been clipped. Close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.5 x 5.85 x 1.1 inches). xii, 260 pages. Language: English. Weight: 17.4 ounces. First Edition (1985); Second Printing. Hardback with DJ. Foster's book is a well-written exploration of the central spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith. Foster handles his subject matter with a combination of Biblical perspective, wisdom from the greats of the Christian tradition across the centuries, common sense, and a dash of humor. Foster's over-arching message that the Christian life can be both committed and joyful, serious and full. As with Celebration of Discipline, this book provided extensive food for reflection. Foster's thought shows deep roots in the Christian tradition: he refers to early Quaker greats, the Church fathers, or founders of various monastic fellowships. Furthermore, his call to the vows of simplicity, fidelity, and service feels wisely and bracingly counter-cultural in a time when even many spiritual books have soft, affirming, back-patting messages. I highly recommend the book for any Christian seeking a solid spiritual meal.
