Disciplines of the Heart - Cultivating True Devotion for God

What does it mean to discipline the heart? What is the anatomy of a spiritual heart? What exercises strengthen the heart to beat for God? In Proverbs 4:23, the Lord commands us, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." The heart is the center of who we are and what we do, and we must learn to guide our heart if we want to serve the Lord. Disciplines of the Heart examines what the heart is, whose it is, and how we are to govern it. This book explores how to cultivate a heart for God that will manifest itself in a disciplined life. Through such "heart-exercises" as joy, patience, and purity, we will draw closer to the Lord and bring Him glory!
