Publisher's Description
The Five Disciplines for Christians are imperative for spiritual growth. These five disciplines are: fellowship, Bible study, prayer, ministry, and witnessing. The Christian will not grow to maturity in Christ without all five, but most Christians don't know what they are. This book will help the reader to rediscover these ancient biblical practices which will bring them closer to God, transform the world around them, and provide personal fulfillment. The book is broken down into five sections, one for each discipline. Each section provides the biblical mandate, describes the nuances of the discipline, identifies challenges to its practice, and gives tools to enhance one's routine.

“In all the years I’ve known Elliott, his pastoral heart and sincere care of others pour out of him profusely! I highly respect Elliott’s patient, kind, and purposeful communication too, and I know you’ll be blessed by this resource.”
“I have known Elliott Cooke for over thirty-five years. The principles in his book have been filtered through a life authentically and consistently lived for the glory of God. The issues he addresses are core to a fruitful and fulfilling spiritual life, and the principles he provides are practical and effective. At a time when the people of God are distracted by many good things, Elliott calls us afresh to those things that are essential.”
“There’s not a pastor who doesn’t have a frustration with spiritual immaturity (his own first, then that of others). But pastor Cooke demonstrates this more as a kind of friend-heartbreak, with a passionate desire for God’s people to experience the smile of God that comes from obedience to God. This will remind, renew, and bear fruit for readers who respond to his ‘How about you?’ challenges and practical suggestions from God’s word.”
