In this book, John Ortberg explores the spiritual disciplines necessary for transforming one's life to live as Jesus would. He argues that the primary goal of spiritual life is transformation, defined as the inward and real formation of a person's essential nature. Ortberg examines eight specific disciplines, including celebration, slowing, prayer, servanthood, confession, guidance from the Holy Spirit, secrecy, and reflecting on Scripture. He emphasizes that these disciplines are not indicators of spiritual growth but rather training to enhance one's ability to love and live under God's power. The book is written in a friendly and transparent style, making it relatable and challenging for readers to practice these disciplines in their daily lives[2][4][5].
