Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline (HarperCollins 1978) is undoubtedly one of the most influential books on my early, mid, and late journey with Christ. I have read it 3 times. It's a why what and how to the various practices that allow us deeper joy and intimacy in our walk with God.
The first 37 words of the book are powerful, probably my favorite first paragraph of any book I've read:
Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of intant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.
