Hear his voice. Have his ear. Belong to his body.

Three seemingly unremarkable principles shape and strengthen the Christian life: listening to God's voice, speaking to him in prayer, and joining together with his people as the church. Though often viewed as normal and routine, the everyday "habits of grace" we cultivate give us access to these God-designed channels through which his love and power flow--including the greatest joy of all: knowing and enjoying Jesus.

A study guide for individual and group study is also available.

  • Includes a foreword by best-selling author John Piper
  • Author serves as executive editor at desiringGod.org, a popular evangelical ministry with a large online following
  • Explores the spiritual disciplines of Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship from a fresh perspective, focusing on the blessings that result from cultivating such "habits of grace"
  • Emphasizes the importance of viewing such practices as channels of God's grace, not works done to merit his approval
