TV1a,

You may PM me about the book, but I think I know which it is.

For Bro. Chosen: the book I use to teach the Spiritual Disciplines is :Foster's book, The Spiritual Disciplines. I still have those who took the class ask me questions and say that they continue to feast on what was presented and how the practice of the disciplines has changed their lives.

You cannot fully give yourself to the practice of the spiritual disciplines and not be changed. I do agree that Love is the key. I try not to think too much about love because love makes a person vulnerable and many times I love people who don't love me, and even my enemies are not really my enemies but just people I care too much about to my own hurt. I used to say that it doesn't hurt a person to love another, but sometimes it does. Maybe it is supposed to so that the other fruits we cultivate can bring in a bountiful harvest: patience, joy, peace, longsufferring, gentleness, and meekness. I can see how this would happen.

I feel this is a subject worth discussing if we look beyond the surface and care to go inward with our studies.

Blessings, Rhoni
