Book excerpt: The goal of this short handbook is to help readers begin to put their faith into practice through spiritual disciplines. The practice of our faith is essentially to embrace our adoption as beloved children of God. This handbook introduces a Christian to the fundamental disciplines of the Christian life. It first discusses the meaning and goal of the spiritual disciplines. It then explores prayer, reading, the division of the day, and occasional practices. It briefly touches on the ordinary means of grace and our liturgical life in the church. A few psalms and a hymn are included to inspire preliminary reading, prayer, and reflection. As an initial instruction in the spiritual disciplines, the text is by no means exhaustive. It can be read straight through or used as a reference for insight, encouragement, or suggestions when needed. It is a short but substantive introduction, appropriate for guided family devotion, instruction, discussion, or use by the adult who wishes to learn about the spiritual disciplines and to begin practicing them.
