Praise for Habits for Our Holiness
Thanks to Philip Nation for this new work on the spiritual disciplines. Habits for Our Holiness will help you grow deeper in your faith and engage more passionately in God’s mission.
—CHRISTINE CAINE, author of Unstoppable: Running the Race You Were Born to Win
I highly recommend Habits for Our Holiness, by my good friend Philip Nation. Like an expert guide, he will take you deep into the heart of God and the spiritual disciplines that Jesus’ followers have practiced for two millennia. But then he shows you how your holiness is the fuel that empowers you to join Jesus in his redemptive mission.
—DERWIN L. GRAY, lead pastor of Transformation Church, and author of The High Definition Leader: Building Multiethnic Churches in a Multiethnic World

About Habits for Our Holiness: How the Spiritual Disciplines Grow Us Up, Draw Us Together, and Send Us OutNot your typical spiritual disciplines book Most books on the spiritual disciplines follow the same pattern: introduce the discipline, prove it from Scripture, and give tips for how to do it. Habits for our Holiness does more than that: It connects the disciplines to all of life. By showing how the disciplines have their greatest power when practiced in community and on mission, Philip Nation gives Christians a bigger reason—and greater desire—to pursue spiritual disciplines. He also warns us of what happens when we neglect them. With plenty of examples, stories, and illustrations, Habits for our Holiness will inspire you to nourish your life with discipline, enjoy the fruit of godliness, and have a hand in building the church. |
