There are times when I'm simply ready to hear something. Today is one of those times, Spiritual Discipline is the topic. In the absence of any decent books on prayer I picked up Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline feeling a little guilty. I was supposed to read it a year ago on Transit but when I flicked through it's pages I was terribly bored...
My reaction, the last few days as I've begun again, has been entirely different, the exact opposite in fact. Depth is exactly what I thirst for right now. His encapsulation of the pitfalls of focusing on external demonstrations of righteousness instead of allowing God to transform us inwardly is excellent. Only two chapters in and loving it. After the pitiful effort that was Eragon this book is a balm to my mind. Ah the joys of not being patronised. xc
