This book has multiple purposes for which it can be used. It may be used by an individual to improve their walk with the Lord. It may be used in a group study of self-discipline, like in a study group or Sunday school. I think the latter use is the best one because there is so much meat that Elliot addresses in her book about self-discipline that many will need the support and encouragement of others in order to make the changes that she suggests. Her suggestions are not radical; they are all Biblically based and very practical. However, those who have been living without self-discipline will find many of the topics challenging as well as thought-provoking. I found the chapter about time and feelings to be the most challenging for me, but also the ones that seem to be calling to be to “get it together” in my life. I can’t say that reading the book was enjoyable, but it was a trip down a road that every Christian needs to take, one of learning to surrender completely to our Lord.
