Publisher's Synopsis
Basil W. Maturin offers immense and inspiring insights upon spiritual and personal growth, which he held to be a matter of constantly disciplining oneself to submit to God's divine will. A man of supreme devotion and faith, Maturin sets out the principles through which Christian faithful can grow closer to God. Disciplining in one's thought and habits are held to be the most important undertakings for any believer; it is only through learning and practicing the virtues espoused by Christ and other Biblical figures that we can experience lasting harmony in our daily lives and be of well-rounded and responsible character for all-time. The author distinguishes between the different disciplines a human being can undertake - discipline of the mind with a good attitude, emotions and regard for the holy, and discipline of the body by abstaining from indulgences, must be paired with a willful acknowledgement of Christ in the supernatural life.
