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

That is reallythe core of our story.Its about the choices we make and how those choices affect us immediatelyand all along our life journey.The Loneliest Shepherd deal with choices and how making bad choicescan effect just about every aspect of your life. At the birth of Jesus Iwondered who it was among the shepherds that had to stay behind andwatch the sheep. I wondered how that might effect that persons life, whathis life might turn out to be like and where he might end up.While the story is purely fi ctional, I have taken true accounts from the Bibleand created a what if story around them to help put into perspective justhow criticle making the right choices really are.My prayer is that this encounter with David will cause you think moredeeply about life than you ever have before.
