In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Joyful Surrender, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of all times. She shows readers how to

– discipline the mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings
– overcome anxiety
– change poor habits and attitudes
– trust God in times of trial and hardship
– let Christ have control in all areas of life
