In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Fasting, Discipline, and Self-control explains the great gain that is obtainable from fasting. Fasting can be absolute (dry), with water, or partial. But it is to be combined with prayer, Bible reading and meditation, praising and worshipping God, and searching your heart for any hidden sin or evil motive. And you must learn to discipline yourself, if you want to achieve the results you desire. Your body and fleshly desires must be controlled so that you can please God.

There are great things which we can learn from Apostle Paul's life and ministry. And he said, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1). This is to say that Christ Jesus is our Perfect Example. Therefore, if you are looking up to someone, and you failed, disobeyed, or backslid because the person failed, disobeyed, or backslid, then you have no excuse, because our Perfect Example, Whom the Word tells us to look unto, never failed nor disobeyed. Yet, Apostle Paul's conversion, zeal for God, passion for the Gospel, commitment to the ministry, suffering for Christ, despising of his life, and other things, will really challenge and encourage us.
