Meet the author

Richard J. Foster is a theologian and founder of Renovaré, a prominent international organization dedicated to helping people become more like Jesus through spiritual formation. A Quaker and former pastor, Foster's extensive study of Christian history and personal experience with spiritual practices revealed a deep hunger for substantive faith. This led him to write Celebration of Discipline, which has guided millions of readers toward a richer, more authentic spiritual life by reintroducing the church to its own transformative traditions.
