{"product_id":"the-making-of-an-ordinary-nathan-foster-9780801014642","title":"The Making of an Ordinary Saint: My Journey from Frustration to Joy with the Spiritual Disciplines","description":"Nathan Foster was just a child when his father's classic \u003ci\u003eCelebration of Discipline\u003c\/i\u003e brought the spiritual disciplines into the popular evangelical consciousness. More than thirty years later, Nathan made his own journey into the spiritual disciplines. As he sought day by day to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both universal and unique. In this engaging narrative, he draws insights from saints of old to uncover fresh ways of living for the contemporary, postmodern Christian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his successes, struggles, and failures, Foster invites readers on a journey of freedom, pain, frustration, and ultimately joy as he learns to rise above selfish desires, laugh at his own failures, and fall in love with God. Those who have read \u003ci\u003eCelebration of Discipline \u003c\/i\u003ewill find in Nathan's book creative new ways to practice the disciplines that have been so formative in their lives. Those who are new to the spiritual disciplines will find that developing a vital, interactive, conversational relationship with God is within their grasp. As a result, the holy habits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are truly possible for all. Includes chapter openings and a foreword from Richard J. Foster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathan Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801014646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801014642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2014 pg. 69","brand":"Nathan Foster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996821389567,"sku":"9780801014642","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24a1a5ab-4b7e-4422-b4a5-561205eb4dcb.jpg?v=1683343891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-making-of-an-ordinary-nathan-foster-9780801014642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
