If there is a spark of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it into a blazing passion for godly discipline."

C. William Pollard, Chairman Emeritus, The ServiceMaster Company
"To open this book and find someone taking seriously the biblical call of 'agonizing to enter the kingdom' and . . . boxing and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on."
John Piper, Founder and Teacher, desiringGod.org; Chancellor, Bethlehem College & Seminary; author, Desiring God
"An outstanding volume for men and women alike! . . . Over 250 pages devoted to the practical outworking of discipline on subjects like purity, marriage, prayer, the tongue, the mind, our work, leadership, ministry, and many, many more. I guarantee: Digest this book and you will bid the blahs farewell."
Charles Swindoll, pastor; best-selling author
