Product Description
Most Christians desire a deeper walk with Christ. Many are pursuing activities geared to help them grow spiritually. But many believers wonder if they are really making progress. They're spiritually active, but are they spiritually healthy? Would Jesus look at their endeavors (prayer, church attendance, evangelism, Bible study, etc.) and pronounce them spiritually fit? Or does He have an altogether different set of criteria by which He measures their spiritual well-being? Best-selling author Don Whitney (Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life) is no stranger to activities and disciplines designed to move believers toward a deeper relationship with Jesus. The ten probing questions Whitney poses in this book will help readers look beyond their spiritual activity to assess the true state of their spiritual health. His questions cut to the heart of the matter: Is the reader's character becoming more like Christ's? There's a difference between being spiritually healthy and being spiritually busy. Don Whitney poses ten probing questions to help you evaluate your growth in important areas of your life.

 A few useful bits, but... November 1, 2008
the one thing I need to say about this book is what Whitney has to say about forgiveness... No author gets everything right but this is downright heretical. Whitney says that you don't forgive until asked for forgiveness, and goes so far as to say that Jesus wasn't forgiving his executioners while on the cross. This is the kind of scripture warping that is perpetuated by an angry and bitter person to justify their sin. I would not recommend this book under any circumstance.
 A Timely Spiritual Checkup October 21, 2008
The title alone is enough to pique the curiosity for those of us who enjoy quick self-examination (think magazine quizzes), but "Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health" goes far beyond a superficial checkup. Whitney offers background information for each of the 10 areas, then provides practical guidance for improving one's "health" in each area. This is no legalistic set of rules to follow; rather, the book provides insight into how to live out the call of Christ in one's own spiritual development and in the larger community. I daresay any Christian seeking to deepen his/her walk with the Lord will find at least one area that speaks to him/her. And non-Christians might want to read this book to see what Christianity is supposed to look like!
 Best I read in 25 years March 2, 2008
This is the best book I have read in 25 years. It is theologically sound and very practical. It is rich with depth, yet simple to comprehend. I strongly encourage every serious Christian to read and apply every chapter.
A Diagnostic Assessment of Your Spiritual Life July 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Ten Questions To Diagnose Your Spiritual Health" resonates with a desire to help the reader grow in their thirst to know God more intimately. Donald S. Whitney approaches a diagnosis of the spiritual life in much the same way a physician uses tests and asks questions to determine physical health. Whitney asks thought provoking, probing questions that pierce the heart and conscious of the reader.
Whitney begins by explaining three kinds of spiritual thirst and the importance of each. He discusses ways of discerning God's presence, and why we need to develop a deepening desire for God's Word. He goes on to examine what it means to cultivate Christian love and to respond to the needs of others with concern, especially those within the church fellowship.
Important lessons on exercising spiritual disciplines, grieving over sin, forgiving others, and a longing for holiness and heaven are other marks of health of the spiritual life.
Donald Whitney provides the reader with a growth pattern for Christian growth and a better understanding of how to access your own spiritual health.
This Bible based book is an excellent resource tool for use in small group studies. It is a book you will want to have readily available to read and reread on a regular basis.
Fantastic-- A straightforward, easy read March 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I give this book out like it's candy. It is very straightforward, biblical and full of Scripture, and practical. I have never had anyone I've given it to say anything other than they liked it a lot and it was very helpful. Plus, contrary to many other books on spiritual discipline, it is a pretty easy and quick read. That's nice for normal, overwhelmed people, so that they don't get discouraged at having to read a huge volume.
Whitney is a scholar and has a passion for the practical, everyday life as it pertains to living out one's faith. I'd highly recommend this book.
