Query: not what its cracked up to be

I picked up this book because of the recommendation Richard Foster gives it (under its old title) in his book "Celebration of Discipline." He claims it is the best book on Guidance. For all I know, it probably is. I just can't seem to read Willard. I don't think it is because he is too "hard." I just think his writing is less than compelling. I have tried to slog through all three of his major books now (the others being "The Spirit of the Disciplines" and "The Divine Invasion"), and all of them are just boring. They make some good points, but I feel Foster's work covers most of this ground while being much more well written. Maybe its just me. But Willard is just too stale for my tastes.
