The ropes truly are amazing!!!<BR/><BR/>Foster's book is good....just don't let it get you too legalistic when you feel like you cannot keep up with all the spiritual disciplines. Unfortunately you can start to feel overwhelmed with everything he recommends. <BR/><BR/>Another book I highly recommend and alot more practical is by John Ortberg called...."The Life You've Always Wanted."<BR/><BR/>http://www.johnortberg.com/store.php<BR/><BR/>Take Care!Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22118589.post-19246600121678658012008-03-31T08:25:00.000-07:002008-03-31T08:25:00.000-07:00Franklin,Yeah surprisingly the daily training form...Franklin,<BR/><BR/>Yeah surprisingly the daily training format seems to really work for me.
