Why do some Christians seem to live with such focus and perseverance? How do they stay disciplined when so many fall away? In The Art of Self-Discipline, John MacArthur calls believers to pursue godliness through Spirit-empowered effort and purpose.

Isn’t it easy to drift through the Christian life, hoping growth will just happen? But what if the Bible calls us to something more intentional? Drawing from Paul’s example, MacArthur challenges us to live with purpose, self-control, and the resolve of an athlete in training. Isn’t that what we all need—Spirit-empowered discipline that keeps us pressing on?

So how do we cultivate that kind of life? Can we really expect to mature in godliness without effort? In this short but stirring booklet, you’ll be reminded that discipline is not about legalism—it’s about love. It’s about striving daily, not to earn God’s favor, but because we already have it.
