The plight of modern man may be summed up in his striving for the road of self-indulgence. The way of least resistance is his goal.
With bold, deft strokes from his ready pen, Dr. Richard S. Taylor penetrates the shallowness of our culture and lays bare the dire need for disciplined living.
He touches on all those areas which stymie saints. Overeating, moodiness, erratic emotions, punctuality - all get their proper attention.
But, best of all, he offers a program on how to actually become a disciplined person!
If you are tired of sloppiness and low productivity level of your personal life, wade in! This book is for you!
