Description

In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for modern people. Now repackaged for the next generation of Christians, Discipline: The Glad Surrender shows readers how to - discipline the mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings-overcome anxiety-change poor habits and attitudes-trust God in times of trial and hardship-let Christ have control in all areas of life Elliot masterfully and gently takes readers through Scripture, personal stories, and lovely observations of the world around her in order to help them discover the understanding that our fulfillment as human beings depends on our answer to God's call to obedience.

How does God mold us into the image of Christ?

"Discipline is a subject about which the Scriptures say much-but contemporary authors have been peculiarly silent. Kent Hughes fills a gaping void with this superb volume.� If there is a spark of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it into a blazing passion for godly discipline." -John MacArthur, pastor and best-selling author "This is a book for men who are eager to learn how to be more effective. It comes from the pen of one who has learned to serve as he has led and who is able to provide the reader with many practical applications of eternal truth." -C. William Pollard, Chairman and CEO, The ServiceMaster Company "To open this book and find someone taking seriously the biblical call of'agonizing to enter the kingdom' and� boxing and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on." -John Piper, pastor and popular author "An outstanding volume for men and women alike!� Over 250 pages devoted to the practical outworking of discipline on subjects like purity, marriage, prayer, the tongue, the mind, our work, leadership, ministry, and many, many more. I guarantee: Digest this book and you will bid the blahs farewell." -Charles Swindoll, pastor and best-selling author "I enjoyed reading Disciplines of a Godly Man because it challenged my spirit. I highly recommend it to men who are not thin-skinned." -Mike Singletary, Hall of Fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears "An inspiring and practical guide for men who seek to reflect God's glory in their lives.
