The Bible and Spiritual Disciplines explores six pivotal components of classic Christian spirituality: Sabbath, intercessory prayer, fasting, stewardship, living into one's call, and accountability. Through these disciplines, readers may discover ways of living an intentional and fruitful spiritual life. Questions are provided at the end of each chapter for further reflection and discussion. Insights: Bible Studies for Growing Faith is a fresh and timely Bible study series. In these short-term, thematically based resources, individuals and groups are invited to find meaning and direction for their lives by exploring the Scriptures in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.
