The Celebration of Discipline

NOTE: This review is a WORK IN PROGRESS. Please see the comment section below so you will understand why this section may have typos and such at this time.



I first read Celebration of Discipline as a part of a Bible fellowship group. I read it with a group of Christians. We read a chapter a week and then discussed it at a weekly meeting.

I could not limit myself to one chapter a week.I was drawn to read ahead. In a way that was okay because this is a book to be read more than once.

It is really a book to be read contemplative. Recently, I started reading it as xa part of my daily devotions this time I read it more slowly. There were days I read only a paragraph or two and days I read a while chapter.

The were some o or one chapter that bogged me down. I think it was the chapter on service. I think another time I read it I actually spotted at that chapter and did not finish that reading.

There are other chapter I loved reading and felt richly blessed as I read.

I don't agree with everything the author has written but we seek the same God and can connect in Him.

I wish the words were simpler. The language is more intellectual than I would like it to be. How can these things be expressed do that s child can understand?

That is what I would like.

Let me see if I can remember some of the chapter titles,:

Solitude
Service
Worship
Confession

Some are inner disciplines.
Some are external.
Some are corporeal.


Worship is listed as a corporeal discipline but I know worship is both an individual discipline and something we can do together.

We can
