What does it mean to discipline the heart? What is the anatomy of a spiritual heart? What exercises strengthen the heart to beat for God? In Proverbs 4:23, the Lord commands us, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." The heart is the center of who we are and what we do, and we must learn to guide our heart if we want to serve the Lord. Disciplines of the Heart examines what the heart is, whose it is, and how we are to govern it. This book explores how to cultivate a heart for God that will manifest itself in a disciplined life. Through such "heart-exercises" as joy, patience, and purity, we will draw closer to the Lord and bring Him glory!

Looking for a church with modern spiritual disciplines? Stop. God has something to say about Bible study, prayer witnessing, church attendance, service, and obedience, but many churches are unknowingly losing what God wants in an effort to become more relevant and increase attendance. Dr. Charles Stanley helps you take another look at what the Bible says concerning the age-old tools presented in the Scriptures and lets you decide if your church is still doing it right.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Discipline is important in the Christian life, and it is important to understand what you will become. God’s elect will ultimately conform to the image of Christ, and until then, they are to grow toward it. #2 The pursuit of holiness is not what qualifies us to see the Lord. It’s the Lord who qualifies us to see Him. We cannot produce enough righteousness to impress God and gain admittance into heaven. Instead, we can only stand before God in the righteousness that has been earned by another, Jesus Christ. #3 The Bible teaches that Christians should discipline themselves in order to become mature and godly. The only road to Christian maturity and godliness passes through the practice of the Spiritual Disciplines. #4 The Spiritual Disciplines are the habits of devotion and experiential Christianity that have been practiced by the people of God since biblical times. They are the means of blessings for followers of Jesus and a part of their growth in godliness.
