About this book

The Beloved Handbook for Transformation Through Spiritual Disciplines

Do you long for a more intimate prayer life or deeper insight from God's Word but aren't sure how to get there? Are you interested in learning about spiritual disciplines like visio divina, unplugging, or attentiveness?

In Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, Adele Calhoun gives direction for your journey toward deeper intimacy with Christ. While the word discipline might at first seem daunting, Calhoun shows how your desires and discipline can work together to bring the transformation you're longing for—the transformation only Christ can provide.

From introspective practices like silence and solitude to others-focused activities like hospitality and mentoring, you'll learn about all kinds of spiritual disciplines. Beyond only giving you information about the spiritual disciplines, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook offers practical, accessible guidance to help you put them into practice.

This revised edition of a well-loved resource includes:

  • Seventy-five revised and expanded disciplines to transform your spiritual life,
  • Thirteen new disciplines for new readers and those familiar withthe text alike, and
  • A new preface by the author.

No matter what your occupation or role in life, we are all on a spiritual journey. Spiritual disciplines are for everyone who desires to know Christ deeply and become more like him. Through Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, you'll find direction for your desire, leading you to the ultimate destination: more of Christ himself.
