Living the Spirit-Formed Life

Published by Regal (Gospel Light) in 2001, with the subtitle Growing in the 10 Principles of Spirit-Filled Discipleship. Hayford writes for new believers and mature Christians alike about the basic disciplines God gives for the Christian life, including prayer, fasting, daily worship, repentance and forgiveness, and what it means to abide in Christ day by day. The book opens with "the pillar principle" from Revelation 3:12 ("He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God"), acknowledging that some readers will doubt their capacity for that kind of maturity. Its endorsers included Robert Schuller, John C. Maxwell and Chuck Colson.
