Spiritual Disciplines

Do not pass this up!  Christian Audio is offering Dr. Whitney’s book Spiritual Disciplines (audio form) for free in month of March. This is a great book and one that has been in our library for years. My hubby personally knows Dr. Whitney and can attest to the character and love for God he has seen displayed in his life.  Dr. Whitney was one of my hubby’s seminary professors.  This is one of hubby’s favorite books as well.  I highly recommend that you take advantage of this offer and go download your free audio version of the book today!
Here is a snippet from Dr. Whitney’s site about this great book.

It’s not uncommon for an accomplished musician to be able to sit down in front of a new piece of music and play it though without a hitch. It seems easy, as if playing required no effort. Yet, the ‘freedom’ to play with such skill comes only after years of disciplined practice.

In the same way, the freedom to grow in godliness–to naturally express Christ’s character through your own personality–is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines.

Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty..
