About this title

Review:

Like a child exploring the attic of an old house on a rainy day, discovering a trunk full of treasure and then calling all his brothers and sisters to share the find, Richard Foster has 'found' the spiritual disciplines that the modern world stored away and forgot ... the instruments of joy, the way into mature Christian spirituality and abundant life. --Eugene Peterson

This is a book I'd love to have written ... exciting, stimulating and joyful. --Joyce Huggett

The best modern book on Christian spirituality. --(Ronald Sider)
