Join Preston and me as we discuss the concept of spiritual disciplines. In this program on disciplines, we discuss "Reading the Bible" and its importance for the follower of Christ. We learn about the importance of Bible Study and the lack of this discipline in the western church. We also discuss Preston's now released book, Rigorous Grace – Practicing the Life of Jesus.
