AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical guide to Christian spiritual disciplines

Donald S. Whitney frames spiritual growth as something Christians pursue through regular practices, and this revised edition considers how those habits can take shape in everyday life. Its topics range from absorbing Scripture, prayer, and worship to evangelism, serving, fasting, silence and solitude, and journaling. The book’s organizing idea is practical cultivation: it addresses what spiritual disciplines involve and offers suggestions for developing them, presenting them as a middle ground between legalism and having no boundaries. The result is a focused resource on habits associated with Christian devotion and growth.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians seeking practical ideas for developing spiritual habits
  • Readers interested in biblical approaches to prayer, Scripture, worship, and service
  • Those exploring a range of Christian spiritual disciplines

Book overview

Over 600,000 copies sold!

We aren't meant to wait for holiness--we're meant to pursue it. God commands Christians to actively "be holy," but what does that look like in daily life? Rather than overwhelming legalism or loose boundaries, Don Whitney encourages us to find a practical middle ground through biblical habits.

Don Whitney's convicting insight on spiritual disciplines will challenge you to grow in new ways as a Christian. Now updated and revised, this edition offers practical suggestions for cultivating spiritual growth, diving into practices such as:

  • Absorbing Scripture
  • Prayer
  • Worship
  • Evangelism
  • Serving
  • Fasting
  • Silence and solitude
  • Journaling
  • And more

Regardless of where you are in your Christian walk, this anniversary edition provides refreshing and profound encouragement for your spirit.

"Don Whitney's spiritual feet are blessedly cemented in the wisdom of the Bible. This is as beneficial as it is solid. If you want to be really real with your God, this book provides practical help." --J. I. Packer, author and theologian
