Spiritual disciplines are often viewed primarily as a means to draw
us closer to God. While these practices do deepen and enrich our
"vertical" relationship with God, Kyle David Bennett argues that
they were originally designed to positively impact our "horizontal"
relationships--with neighbors, strangers, enemies, friends, family,
animals, and even the earth. Bennett explains that this
"horizontal" dimension has often been overlooked or forgotten in
contemporary discussions of the spiritual disciplines. This book
offers an alternative way of understanding the classic spiritual
disciplines that makes them relevant, doable, and meaningful for
everyday Christians. Bennett shows how the disciplines are remedial
practices that correct the malformed ways we do everyday things,
such as think, eat, talk, own, work, and rest. Through personal
anecdotes, engagement with Scripture, and vivid cultural
references, he invites us to practice the spiritual disciplines
wholesale and shows how changing the way we do basic human
activities can bring healing, renewal, and transformation to our
day-to-day lives and the world around us.
