Weekly Reflections on the Spiritual Disciplines
In the first chapter of his book Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, Donald S. Whitney argues that "the Spiritual Disciplines are those practices found in Scripture that promote spiritual growth among believers in the [G]ospel of Jesus Christ. They are the habits of devotion and experiential Christianity that have been practiced by the people of God since biblical times." He continues to explain that there are both personal, the kind on which the book focuses, and interpersonal Spiritual Disciplines.
