"Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.
The classical disciplines of the spiritual life call us to move beyond surface living into the depths. The invite us to explore the inner caverns of the spirtual realm. They urge us to be the answer to a hollow world...
Psalm 42:7 reads 'Deep calls to deep.' Perhaps somewhere in the subterranean chambers of your life you have heard the call to deeper, fuller living. You have become weary of frothy experiences and shallow teaching. Every now and then you have caught glimpses, hints of something more than you have known. Inwardly you long to launch out into the deep."
-Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
