Disciplines of the Spirit

The "Souper" Book Group at Emmanuel UCC in Sebring, Florida read and discussed Thurman's book, Disciplines of the Spirit. We found it to be a "read" and "reread" book. To gain the most from his deeply spiritual presentation the reader needs to do a fast read-through and then a line-by-line study with note taking. A healthy and interesting discussion was enjoyed by our entire group. If you want to grow spiritually, we highly recommend this book.

Howard Thurman gives in five tightly packed chapters a guide to a more God filled life using five disciplines; Commitment, Wisdom, Suffering, Prayer, and Reconciliation. He offers illustrations and concrete suggestions on how to achieve a more spiritual filled life. Even though the language, in terms of gender, is outdated, this is a must read book!
