Endorsements for
"Donald Whitney is an experienced physician of the soul. Now he has given us an excellent diagnostic tool for evaluating our spiritual health. I highly recommend this book."
—Jerry Bridges, staff member of The Navigators and author of The Pursuit of Holiness
"Many of us would relish the privilege of having a godly, mature mentor help us examine our spiritual condition. Don Whitney's book gave me that sense. He asks the questions, identifies the issues, and stirs mind and heart toward a purer devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ."
—Jean Fleming, author of A Mother's Heart and Feeding Your Soul
"The practice of spiritual disciplines is vital, especially when we are frequently shocked to hear of some who did run well but have fallen. The chapter 'Do You Grieve Over Sin?' and 'Are You a Quicker Forgiver?' are especially relevant."
—Erroll Hulse, editor Reformation Today
"Whether we consider our spiritual health to be robust or
weak, Don Whitney's leadership through this self-diagnosis
will almost inevitably move you to a higher spiritual plane.
Whitney has given us several excellent books on the spiritual
disciplines, but I believe this is the most helpful of his books
to date. I personally felt my yearning for God intensify and
then found expression in tangible growth as I applied
Whitney's tests and comments to my own spiritual life.
I commend it highly to all sincere Christian seekers."
—T.W. HUNT, author and speaker
"Donald Whitney asks us to interrogate our hearts before evaluating
our actions to assess the health of our souls. However,
the questions he supplies for this assessment not only help us
examine our spiritual health, but in profound ways impart
divine nutrition to all who dare to ask what he suggests."
—BRYAN CHAPELL, PH.D.,
president of Covenant Theological Seminary,
author of Christ-Centered Preaching
"Don Whitney has done it again! After already giving me
three of the books I most frequently recommend to others, I
think he's given me a fourth! This book poses the questions
we need to ponder if we're to persevere in following Christ."
—MARK DEVER, pastor,
Capitol Hill Baptist Church,
author of Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
"Vance Havner, in his book Repent or Else, states that just as
we are often too busy for a spiritual checkup, so the church is
often too occupied to submit to a spiritual examination. In
Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health, Dr. Whitney
has given us something to do just that. This is not a book you
read only once. For believers who long for Revival, these are
questions to which we'll regularly return. What a tool to prepare
the hearts of a congregation for the Lord's supper, or,
Solemn Assemblies!"
—RON OWENS, author of Return to Worship and
They Could Not Stop the Music, music and worship
consultant for the International Mission Board, SBC
"Just this past week, I had my worship musicians read Chapter Four from your book Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health. We had a great discussion about God's presence."
—Bob Kauflin, Worship Pastor at Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, MD and Director of Music Development for Sovereign Grace Ministries
"I am a professor of Biblical studies and SPIRITUAL FORMATION. In my class I use
Jerry Bridges' Discipline of Grace, Sproul's The Holiness of God, and both your books: Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health and Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life (the 2 in 1 edition!). Awesome!"
—Victor, Baptist University of The Americas, San Antonio, TX
"I have personally been blessed by studying Ten Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health with my high school Sunday school class. It has been a challenge and a means of grace in many of these young people's lives."
—Donna, pastor's wife, Cape Coral, FL
"Donald Whitney asks ten questions that examine and probe the Christian like a medical doctor would his patient to bring about a healthy result. This is a solid read and is not based upon a modern spiritualized "self-help" measure. Each question is biblically based and presents a real challenge to the sick as well as healthy Christian. Whitney states, "Nothing in the world is more important than an eternal, life-giving knowledge of God, through Jesus, who is the only way to the Father. I urge you not to take for granted the existence of such relationship between yourself and God. The Bible implores you to 'make you call and election sure.'" Anyone wishing to take a true examination of their spiritual health will do well to read and re-read this book with the Bible in hand. But be ready to discover you may not be as healthy as you think you are in your spiritual health. The Christian looking to become healthy in their relationship with Christ will want read this book."
—aubuchon8 from Camdenton, MO, in an Amazon review.
"We use Spiritual Disciplines and 10 Questions . . . Your material really hits home with our students. I have never seen any student who has gone through your material that has not been changed by it."
—Daniel, youth pastor in MO
"Ten Questions To Diagnose Your Spiritual Health resonates with the 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. . . . 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."
—Richard from San Leandro, CA in a review on Amazon.com
