Summary

The Upper Room Disciplines is a meditation guide and Bible commentary in one volume. Each week a different writer guides readers through the designated readings from the Revised Common Lectionary, a three-year journey through scripture that many congregations follow. By using Disciplines, readers become part of an ecumenical community that is considering the same scripture passages each week. Writers, pastors, preachers, and scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds contribute to Disciplines, offering a diversity of perspectives on scripture. A best-selling resource for over four decades, this "portable pastor" can serve as a spiritual guide throughout the year.
