The answer is simple: Because we want to be godly.
This book is a short and concise introduction to the basic spiritual disciplines, and its aim is to help you make time with God a daily habit. It will not cover all the spiritual disciplines, only four that we will call the "basic spiritual disciplines." They are:
- MEDITATION UPON GOD'S WORDPRAYING GOD'S WORD & GOD'S WILLSILENCE & SOLITUDEFASTING
And the good news? You do not walk the road of godliness by yourself. If you are in Christ, then the presence of a Divine Person is living inside of you, comforting you, counseling you, guiding you, and directing you toward the goal of godliness.
