Paper Instructions:
Throughout the course, the students will be reading Richard Foster’s Celebration of Discipline. This book outlines 12 different spiritual disciplines, or practices, such as prayer and meditation, that foster spiritual growth. As they read the book, the students will attempt to participate in at least 8 of these spiritual disciplines. In week 7, the students will submit a 3-5 page paper in which they describe their experience with these disciplines. The paper will consist of 8 sections, one for each of the disciplines the students participated in (1-2 paragraphs each). Each section will a.) describe what the discipline is (according to Foster) and b.) reflect on the students’ own experience in practicing the discipline.
