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.

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.

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.

Every human being should read this book and at least attempt to put it into practice. It rings a resounding 'yes, this is actually the correct way to live' with a turn of each page. The world would be a different place if we could each give this some effort.

This is a book that will challenge you. He covers quite a bit of ground and will almost certain jack you up in one way or another. It's a good book if your not afraid to get challenged.

This book has very good points and examples. However, for myself, there were many things to relate to. This is probably becuase of the difference of when it was written and when I was born. But even with the large time difference, there were many things that I could easily grasp and relate to how I live my life. More importantly than that, how I should/can live it.
