Publisher's Description
The Beloved Handbook for Transformation Through Spiritual Disciplines Do you long for a more intimate prayer life or deeper insight from God's Word but aren't sure how to get there? Are you interested in learning about spiritual disciplines like visio divina, unplugging, or attentiveness? In Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, Adele Calhoun gives direction for your journey toward deeper intimacy with Christ. While the word discipline might at first seem daunting, Calhoun shows how your desires and discipline can work together to bring the transformation you’re longing for—the transformation only Christ can provide. From introspective practices like silence and solitude to others-focused activities like hospitality and mentoring, you'll learn about all kinds of spiritual disciplines. Beyond only giving you information about the spiritual disciplines, Spiritual Disciplines Handbook offers practical, accessible guidance to help you put them into practice. This revised edition of a well-loved resource includes: Seventy-five revised and expanded disciplines to transform your spiritual life, Thirteen new disciplines for new readers and those familiar withthe text alike, and A new preface by the author. No matter what your occupation or role in life, we are all on a spiritual journey. Spiritual disciplines are for everyone who desires to know Christ deeply and become more like him. Through Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, you'll find direction for your desire, leading you to the ultimate destination: more of Christ himself. "This handbook is a treasure of 'tried and true' spiritual practices written well enough for everyone from the novice to the master to use." – Publishers Weekly Starred Review, September 2005

“I have long profited from Adele Ahlberg Calhoun's gifts in the field of spiritual development, and I am delighted that she has compiled her experience with spiritual disciplines into book form. I highly recommend it and I look forward to using it as a resource at our church.”
“I love this book! Adele has provided a treasure trove of spiritual disciplines that will nourish your soul, striking a delicate balance between accessibility and depth that comes from her own faithful practice. Read it, engage the disciplines and allow God to transform you in the deepest levels of your being.”
“We are living at a time when the Prostestant church is rediscovering the truth that transformation in Christ occurs through the disciplines of formation. Finally, Adele Calhoun has pulled all of these together into one volume, complete with cleardefinitions and practices of a variety of ways that God uses to grow our lives. No longer do you have to root through scattered pieces of paper, nor a chapter here and there to get the big picture of the tried and true disciplines. This is one resource you will want to have at your fingertips.”
