Many Christians find about as much joy in their daily devotions as they do in a workout on the treadmill at their fitness club. You enjoy having completed it. Daily prayer doesn’t have to be an “ought to” in your schedule. It can become a “get to.” As the title suggests, setting aside focused time to interact with our Creator can become something delightful. There are two key elements to developing a lifestyle of daily prayer: having the right motivations and knowing specifically how we can converse with our Heavenly Father. Ron addresses both of these in a simple and compelling way. 
 From Duty to Delight will inspire and equip you with fresh, practical ways to experience meaningful interaction with God. In these pages you will see a variety of ways of praying that will make your daily time with God anything but dull, routine, and lifeless. You will find yourself losing track of time as you sense more and more of His life-giving presence.

Years ago a friend taught me a dozen or so core building exercises, which have strengthened me to ride, swim and run stronger in order to compete in triathlons. Spiritual exercises can have the same effect on our faith. We can be transformed spiritually through exercises that position ourselves to experience God’s love and nurture and sense of His empowering presence daily. 
 The exercises compiled in this spiritual workout manual are what Paul was referring to when he said: “Physical training is good, but training in godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come” (1 Timothy 4:8 NLT). Try some of these examples and you will experience a healthier, robust faith. In this book 101 diverse, creative, clearly communicated ways show us how to encounter the living God in our lives.
