The Disciplined Life: Studies in the fine art of Christian discipleship [Paperback]

Richard S. Taylor (Author), S. T. Ludwig (Designer)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1974

For All Those who Yearn to be and do Their Very Best for Christ

With bold, deft strokes, Richard Taylor penetrates the shallowness of our culture and lays bare the dire need for disciplined living.

He deals with all those areas of living which hamper Christians from reaching their full potential, such as overeating, moodiness, erratic emotions, tardiness, lack of submission, and weak priorities.

But beyond the habits of daily life, the author presents a clear and practical program for being, from the inside out, a true Christian disciple.

This is an excellent book for those who desire a greater depth and dimension of discipline in their lives. He who is not fit to control his own self is unfit to govern others. Boy is this timely! This book is a real guide into disciplined living.

This review is from: The Disciplined Life: Studies in the fine art of Christian discipleship (Paperback)

Most people want to be disciplined, but cannot find the motivation. That motivation must come from a deep personal conviction. This book does a great job of teaching the reasons behind the principles. It starts with the ideas and moves to the practicals.
This is a must read for anyone wishing true discipline.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Disciplined Life, January 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Disciplined Life: Studies in the fine art of Christian discipleship (Paperback)

Not only does Dr. Taylor deal with the disciplined life, but he deals with the disciplined life of the Christian. Not only does he explain what true, Christ-like discipline is, but he explains how to acheive this discipline. For the pastor who needs strength, or "Joe Christian" who needs self-control, I recommend them to prayerfully read this inspiring book.
