Feeling spiritually sluggish? Discover five crucial disciplines--prayer, Scripture, brotherhood, accountability, and ministry--so you can hear and obey God with joy.

A disciplined, godly man is a beacon of hope and strength in this haphazard world. His life is a testament to Jesus, the Master Blacksmith. But the Blacksmith's forging doesn't happen by chance. It happens when we intentionally use the tools He provides.

The latest book in Vince Miller's Forged Bible study series, The Blacksmith's Discipline explores five spiritual disciplines--or tools--that form godly men:

• Prayer: How to maintain a continuous dialogue with God and follow his guidance.
• Scripture: How to overcome barriers to reading the Bible using the PASS method.
• Brotherhood: How men can encourage, challenge, and support one another.
• Accountability: How to build nurturing relationships that facilitate obedience to God's will.
• Ministry: How to embody God's message and fulfill God's good works.
