Year with God

by Richard J. Foster

In Richard Foster’s bestselling book Celebration of Discipline, he explored the “classic disciplines,” or central spiritual practices of the Christian faith. The inward disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues for personal examination and change. The outward disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help prepare us to make the world a better place. And the corporate disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to others and to God. In A Year with God, Foster uses daily spiritual exercises and meditations to explore these disciplines. Every day the reader will find readings from Scripture, commentary, a meditation, and a spiritual exercise. Spend A Year with God and discover a more balanced and fulfilling inner life. Richard J. Foster is the author of several bestselling books, including Celebration of Discipline, Streams of Living Water, Life with God, and Prayer, which was Christianity Today’s Book of the Year for 1993 and the winner of the Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. He is the founder of Renovaré, an intrachurch movement committed to the renewal of the Church in all her multifaceted expressions, and the editor of The Life with God Bible.
