Martin Saunders’s aim in this book is to help youth leaders teach young people to develop a ‘deep-rooted and lasting faith’ by practising ten spiritual disciplines.
The disciplines that the book considers are prayer, Bible study, meditation, fasting, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, worship and celebration. After explaining each, Saunders provides an outline of how the discipline could be taught to a youth group. The outlines include activities, discussion questions, photocopiable resources and ways to adapt the material depending on the make-up of the group.
