Celebration of Discipline

As I mentioned in our first post, we began a 10-month discipleship training school this fall through our church. The school, called EQUIP, is not so much academic training as it is lifestyle training. We learn about the character of God, worship together and pray together, and each week we get to hear a different speaker talk about things like the Father heart of God, evangelism, spending time with God, authority of the Bible, and much more. To say that this training school has already been life-changing for both of us would be an understatement!

Reading is also a large part of EQUIP, which has been one of our favorite aspects. In addition to reading the Bible in 10 months, we are also assigned to read a different book each month. Herein lies the point of this particular post!

One of our most recent books was Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline. The title alone was enough to make me skeptical at first. Celebration? Of discipline? But, oh how quickly we learned what a gem this book is. I would venture to say that this is a must-read for all believers. At least, that's my humble opinion! If you are looking for a quality winter read, this book has our high recommendation.
