"You can go to many other sources to get help in the various disciplines of life. What makes 'The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal' unique is that the author has combined help in so many disciplines in just oneplace—nudging you practically along the way in your weekly scheduling, your devotional life, your memorization challenge, your financial obligations, your witness to others, your family life, and others as well. Neil Culbertson integrates all this with mature wisdom and helpful discipline."

"Spiritual growth requires training (I Tim. 4:7 & 8). Training is work. Work takes initiative and planning, and monitoring. Neil Culbertson's book, "The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal" can be of immense help in this spiritual pursuit. I have found it a very helpful guide in determining the how and what for spiritual growth, but also for enhancing self-accountability. This Training Manual is filled with helps of many sorts, it is a WORK book. I recommend it with enthusiasm!"

The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal is an effective adaptable tool for training oneself in the spiritual disciplines. It can be used by the mature Christian who wants to deepen his Christian experience or by the newbeliever who is just beginning to learn how to walk. I have found it very helpful in organizing my personal prayer life. I would highly recommend it as a way to organize your spiritual, devotional life.

We have decided to use The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal at Pacific Islands Bible College because it is an effective way to train future Christian leaders in the spiritual disciplines of prayer, meditation and service. We believe it will be an effective tool in our goal to produce servant leaders.

"As an avid journaler for years, with mutliple blank books filled with treasures from the Lord, I appreciate Neil Culbertson crafting an organized and systematic method for retaining insights from God. Recording our spiritual thoughts, life's journeys, and discoveries in Scripture, show God we actually care about what He is graciously revealing to us. As the apostle Paul instructed young Timothy (II Tim. 1:14), "Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you" ... we, too, are expected to be good stewards of the activity of God in our lives. As one man said, "Don't just think it, INK it." Rev. Culbertson's new work, "The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal," is a wonderful tool to track and record our spiritual pilgrimage. I also highly recommend the valuable, balanced, and insightful "Articles on the Disciplines" in the back of the journal. Thank you Neil for this gift to the body of Christ!"

"Let me know as soon as the new journals are ready! I want one for myself and several more that I want to give to friends as gifts this Christmas."

"As you can tell, I am very enthusiastic about the Christian's Spiritual Training Journal and have been using it for almost two years. While personal spiritual discipline is still that, DISCIPLINE, this journal is a great tool in being accountable and staying focused. The variety of sectionis has the goal of covering a wide range of the Christian life and I think it does a great job."

"The Battle of the Angels: Spiritual Warfare and You"

"Having personally gone through The Christian's Spiritual Training Journal and reflecting on my own desire to see spiritual growth, not only in my life but also in the lives of members of our church, I am excited about the potential that this tool carries. It not only helps the believer develop in several different key areas of the Christian life style and discipleship, it does so in a way that
allows for people to enter in at various levels of maturity. The discipline of using the journal can be simple or regimented, depending upon the challenge that the participant feels led by God to pursue. Neil Culbertson should receive a collective thanks from pastors everywhere for providing this resource."
