Discipline.
For many of us, the word alone evokes dread. It’s not that wedon’t want to be disciplined physically, mentally, and spiritually. The challenge seems too hard, and the motivation more about duty than desire. When it comes to our Christian walk, we don’t want tobe legalistic and just follow some set of rules. That’s not what it’s all about, right?
Barbara Hughes answers with this encouraging reality: The trueheart of spiritual discipline is a relationship with God. As yougrow in that relationship, embracing your heavenly Father and hisways, you discover that discipline is your lifeline to him. It is how he gives meaningful shape to all the days of your life.

Using poignant stories and faithful reminders, Barbara opens herown heart to help you find the joy of full surrender.
