From Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline (if you haven’t read it, you need to):
The Disciplines allow us to place ourselves before God so that he can transform us…
The Disciplines are God’s way of getting us into the ground; they put us where he can work within us and transform us. By themselves the Spiritual Disciplines can do nothing; they can only get us to the place where something can be done.”
This book is the one being studied this semester in the Radically Balanced small group. Great selection!
