 Fresh View on an Ancient Subject, 2008-06-27
Ortberg has a way with making the ancient relevant. He clearly presents the reason we should practice spiritual disciplines in the first few chapters. Ortberg uses the contrast between biblical Pharisees and true Christ followers to build a case for keeping the disciplines relational.
Ortberg goes through many major disciplines and explains them in terms of relationship with Christ rather than religious duty. This is a fresh look at a Christian essential that is useful for teaching classical spiritual disciplines.

Great book on disciplines of Christian living, 2008-06-24
Ortberg really makes you think about the disciplines of Christian living. He challenged me all the way to the end of the book.

Laugh Out Loud Learning, 2008-06-13
Ortberg sells himself short when he calls this book "Dallas for Dummies." I've read both books and both are excellent. What Ortberg proves is that different perspectives on the same subject are incredibly important and beneficial for the same reader. It isn't that Ortberg is writing to one audience and Dallas to another. No one author has it all; each author uses different illustrations that uniquely engage & enlighten the reader. Ortberg made me laugh out loud while injesting an important subject on the purpose, importance and value of embracing and practicing the Christian disciplines. He's right-up-front transparent. I particularly benefited by reading a chapter from Ortberg and then one on the same discipline by another author (Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, Klaus Issler) over a 1-week period practicing the specific discipline and then writing a 2-page paper on the experience to process the experience and heart of the matter as a class assignment. This is an easy read and a book you'll want to share with others.

Great for Small Groups!, 2008-03-28
We used this book for 6-weeks in a small group study. The material is good for life-changing growth. Ortberg talks about events we can all relate to, and he admits his own faults. He isn't preaching in this book, despite the fact he is a preacher.
We were able to combine the curriculum with the book. The curriculum provides a great video recap done by Ortberg which helps to direct your discussions. There are questions at the end of the book, and the study guide has personal questions for growth.
Overall, we found it a great read for our small group of young adults. We look to read other Ortberg books in the future.
