"The information is good. It is not as good as Richard Foster's book, but it does give several different areas that can be considered for building spiritual discipline. The writing is not that engaging, so you have to work to read it, even though the subject matter and the information provided is invaluable. I will read it again and keep it as a resource. I recommend this book for those who are on a life journey of spiritual formation, growth and development. This recommendation is all inclusive." — Michelle (4 out of 5 stars)
