Habits & Spiritual Disciplines

If you're starting out on the Christian life, it's a good idea to get plugged into some routines and rhythms that will set you on the right path - and keep you on that path - for life! One such book is Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian Life which shows how to harness Scripture, reading, worship, silence & solitude (and more) to help us live well as Christians. If you're interested in 'spiritual formation', or how the Holy Spirit works in our hearts to change us, then Dallas Willard's The Spirit of the Disciplines is a book you'll find helpful and stimulating. Our final recommendation is A Penitent People by Harrison Perkins. There are several reasons this is our final recommendation in our Top 3: it shows how repentance doesn't stop at conversion, is a life-long practice, frees us from sin's grip, and unburdens us of the guilt of sin when genuinely confessed. It opens up the joy of real spiritual transformation!
