My small group really enjoyed this DVD with Lauren Winner and Donald Miller. They are two of my favorite authors, and it was great to see them talking together about spiritual practices. Lauren had really fresh insights about things that we always hear about in church, like fasting and the Sabbath, but aren't quite sure how to work them into our daily lives. My group really enjoyed the accompanying discussion guide, which really challenged us and led to some great conversations.
You can see a preview of the DVD at their web site, [...]. They also have the discussion guides posted, which is helpful!
We're excited to try the others in the set!

I found this DVD of the set to be the best so far.

Lauren Winner makes one great statement that this whole section could have been based on..."Adoring God is an end." Meaning that there is nothing more to gain from the practice. We are here to adore God. (period)

I liked how she brought up this point, but then seemed to almost contradict herself by going on to talk about the importance of spiritual disciplines and how Christians have forgotten them.

In my history with the church I can not often recall a friend who didnt wish that they read their bible or prayed more. Or who didnt make statements that alluded to how brief their quiet times are and how much they wanted to change that.

I think for me it would have been refreshing to watch a conversation between two people discussing the importance of adoring God as an end and not a means.
