About the book
From the Dust Jacket: Dr. Edman's chapel talks on his well-known "Discipline Series" have long been anticipated in book form. Wheaton students and alumni as well as Christian's throughout the country have profited immeasurably by these simple, straight-forward messages as they have been given out in various forms during recent years. Dr. Edman's heart-warming and deeply spiritual advice from the pulpit and platform is here carried over to the printed page, at the same time retaining all of its originality and spice. These pages contain thirty-one disciplines of life arranged alphabetically for the reader's convenience. You will also find a carefully selected poem at the start of each chapter — each of them a gem! The Discipline of Discipleship heads the list, for, as Dr. Edman says — "Discipleship means 'discipline!' The disciple is that one who has been taught or trained by the Master. . . . Without discipline we are not disciples, even though we profess His Name and pass for a follower of the lowly Nazarene."
