Synopsis

“Joe Fontenot has tackled the issue of spiritual disciplines from a fresh perspective—applying the latest science to an age-old pursuit. He does a great job. He is easy to read, conversational. It’s all straight to the point. You’re going to love this book!” 

- David Crosby 
Pastor of First Baptist New Orleans and author of The Care Effect 

What does it take to establish a regular prayer time? Often, a crisis will do it. But what about the rest of the time–the time when life is good? This is when our prayer habits tend to wane. 

In Life Hacking Spiritual Disciplines Joe pulls from over 20 psychologists, neurologists, and behavioralists to describe exactly what it takes to create the habits and structure necessary to have a regular and dependable time with God. 

YOU WILL LEARN: 
• How to create a successful habit—and how to build it into your already busy schedule. 
• Why relying on willpower alone isn’t enough to make and keep good changes. 
• How to leverage small changes to your diet and physical routine for big impact on energy and motivation. 
• How to stop and focus, even with a thousand things on your mind. 

A daily and vibrant prayer life is more than possible–it’s within reach. But it starts with first understanding how God’s wired us. From there, it’s a matter of following the right path. That’s what this book is about.
