Perfect for you if...

  • You're a Christian who feels stuck in your faith and wants a concrete framework for growing closer to God without the shame spiral.
  • You've tried random spiritual practices but they never last, and you need permission to find what actually works for your life.
  • You're curious about disciplines like prayer, fasting, and Bible study but don't know where to start or how to make them feel natural.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for permission to skip spiritual effort altogether, because Whitney's whole premise is that growth takes intentional practice.
  • You're new to Christianity and need foundational theology first, as this assumes you already understand basic Christian beliefs.
  • You prefer an anything-goes approach to faith without structure or biblical guardrails.

About this book

Donald S. Whitney presents an approach to Christian spiritual growth centered on biblical habits rather than legalism or permissiveness. He argues that Christians are called to actively pursue holiness through practical disciplines in daily life. This updated and revised edition explores specific spiritual practices including Scripture absorption, prayer, worship, evangelism, service, fasting, silence and solitude, and journaling. Whitney offers practical suggestions for cultivating spiritual growth through these disciplines. The book is designed for Christians at any stage of their faith journey, providing encouragement and guidance for deepening one's relationship with God through intentional spiritual practice.
