begin.

For centuries people have connected themselves to God through the practice of spiritual disciplines, yet we feel overwhelmed at the prospect of integrating such disciplines into our own lives today. What if all that is really required is to simply - begin? The pages of this book will introduce you to the disciplines of solitude, silence, fasting, frugality, prayer, meditation, study, and worship, in a fresh new way. In addition to a few non-bossy suggestions about the art of implementing spiritual disciplines, you will also be given 40 readings and exercises to get you started right away. Whether we are beginning our day or a project or a new stage of life, how we begin matters.
