Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Dabblers or Disciples? : Part 1
You may have walked in faith throughout your life, been a committed churchgoer, and practiced the five basic spiritual disciplines of study, prayer, worship, fellowship, and service. And yet... somehow... you feel something is missing.

Chapter 1: Dabblers or Disciples? : Part 2
My faith was fragile - the slightest disturbance in my world could send me tumbling into a field of doubts and uncertainties about God's goodness. I didn't have the kind of intimacy with God that my discipleship classes promised.

Chapter 1: Dabblers or Disciples? : Part 3
In much the same way, I've discovered that learning and practicing the spiritual disciplines has enhanced my spiritual life and shown me how to enjoy God and trust him more fully. They have become training tools that heighten my awareness of God



Book Description

You may have walked in faith throughout your life, been a committed churchgoer, and practiced the five basic spiritual disciplines of study, prayer, worship, fellowship, and service. And yet... somehow... you feel something is missing. You want to feel closer to God...

A woman of faith and a popular speaker at Christian events, Jan Winebrenner now invites you to break through the barriers that can separate you from God's presence in your life. Exploring seventeen often forgotten disciplines, including humility, meditation, and celebration, Jan introduces you to practices that are neither hard work nor items for your "to do" list. They simply ask you to rely on His love.

Open your heart and:

  • Find contentment by freeing yourself from everyone else's expectations and the constant fear of being judged by your peers
  • Discover peace of mind and let God provide - even amid the day-to-day turmoil of earning a living in an insecure world
  • Grow as you experience God's love in moments of private, secret communion with Him
  • Renew your attitude toward your work, family, and life through personal "time-off" communions with God.
