This booklet is very helpful for ones first contact with the Celebration of Discipline book itself. This book requires 15 pages of reading a week to go along with the 15 pages out of Celebration of Discipline. This is good for group leaders or heavy-duty spiritual growth fans. The exercises makes the collective material a real spiritual work out.

This guide is perfect to get you motivated to work these Disciplines. It is a great companion to the Celebration of Discipline book. It allows you to be an individual while growing with others.

I've used this study addition to help lead discussion in my book club. He writes tough questions that demand some thought and soul-searching. The study guide is also short and reads easily, which allows the discussion leader to prepare even with limited prep time. I recommend it for both personal and group use.

I purchased the book and the study guide to do a group study of the book.
Most of the study questions are more like quiz questions that check to make sure you actually read the book. The questions don't even try to lead into deeper discussion.

I used the study guide to write my own questions. It helped a little bit in that regard, and the only other help it was, is that it has key Bible verses that relate to the chapter (most of the time).

Bought for a religious study course. The author had good points, but being a monk made it hard to relate to him sometimes. Real life isn't as streamlined as the life of a monk.
