What Comes to Mind When You Hear the Word ‘Discipline’? As a woman of God, I know discipline is essential because “a man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls” (Proverbs 25:28). Yet, if I’m honest, I often avoid discipline in my daily life. My screen time hours far outweigh the minutes I spend in prayerful meditation before the Lord. I knew I needed a book that would exhort and challenge me specifically as a woman seeking to grow in godly discipline.

A Practical and Biblical Guide to Spiritual Disciplines

Disciplines of a Godly Woman by Barbara Hughes is exactly that kind of book. Barbara Hughes covers a wide range of spiritual disciplines, beginning with foundational truths about godliness and the gospel before moving into increasingly practical areas such as character, relationships, and ministry.

Each chapter is rich with Scripture, providing biblical references that ground her teaching in God’s Word. The application questions at the end of each chapter help readers reflect and go deeper in their personal study of God’s word, making this book not just informational but transformational.

A Book That Challenges and Strengthens

This book is filled with truth and serves as a powerful tool for personal growth and for encouraging other women in their faith walks. I had the privilege of reading this book alongside three other women, and our discussion time was always deep and filled with biblical wisdom. We left each conversation strengthened and edified, knowing that the book’s foundation was firmly rooted in Scripture.

Who Should Read Disciplines of a Godly Woman?

I highly recommend Disciplines of a Godly Woman to any woman seeking to grow in spiritual discipline—whether you are a new believer or have been walking with Christ for years. This book will challenge and equip you to pursue godliness with greater intentionality, leading to a life that is more deeply rooted in Christ.

If you’re looking for a book that will both convict and encourage you, this is the perfect next read. Let it push you toward a more disciplined, Christ-centered life!
