Deceptive in a very crafty way
This book promotes false teaching for Christians. It would be okay if it were NOT promoted as a Christian book but a book for mystics. It is very misleading and deceptive. The Bible is sufficient for the church and Christians; Foster states the Bible is not sufficient, and he is going to tell us what is missing. Sad. He quotes Catholic mystic, Thomas Merton often. Merton, a Catholic mystic, Trappist Monk, who dabbled in the occult and was a staunch pantheist. Merton was considered more Buddhist than catholic. Many deceivers are out there, and Foster's goal is syncretism. He is very crafty in his deceptiveness.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht

For the serious Christian
If you are serious about deepening your walk with Christ, this book will help you get there. A little antiquated in vocabulary sometimes, but the human condition does not change.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht

Confusing instead of strengthening the Christian faith.
The title "Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth" implies that it helps people grow in their faith and maturity in the Lord but it incorporates techniques that come from other faiths (Eastern Religions/Buddhism) that are not compatible with the Bible. It is more a way of "experiencing" instead of knowing God and can open dangerous doors into the spiritual world.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Gebraucht
