Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus Through the Spiritual Disciplines by David Mathis
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
4.0
I think it gives a general brief overview for any Christian to learn. I think, for me, it didn’t feel deep enough. I was familiar with everything mentioned and felt like I already had a grasp on what was mentioned. I wanted something deeper about Bible study, etc…but this wasn’t it. However, I think this would be really helpful for new Christians.
I also think the author, at times, doesn’t give certain “worldly” practices their credit. For example, meditation can still be super helpful when not focusing on Jesus at all. By becoming more mindful, I in turn am more thankful to God and use my time better. So even though it’s not technically Christian, I still find myself giving thanks to God as a result of “worldly” mindfulness meditation practice.
The same can be said about exercise. We are learning to be good stewards of our bodies which were given to us by God.
