Description
Perhaps the hardest thing about following Christ is translating our good intentions into deeds. Christ calls us, and we yearn to answer him, but time and again we lose resolve. Is discipleship possible amid the stresses of modern life? Can Christ bring about lasting change in our lives? How can we be centred on him, when everything seems to pull us apart? This book offers hard-won insights into the challenges of living for Christ in the nitty-gritty of daily life. Many of the selections offer answers to specific needs or problems. Others grapple with broader themes such as the importance of community. All of them pulsate with conviction and compassion, and all of them readiate hope.
Reviews / Votes
Sr. Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking Discipleship is not simply a book. It is a cry from the heart of a man passionately alive for God. Henri J. M. Nouwen A tough, prophetic book in a time in which few people dare to speak unpopular but truly healing words. Derek Green, Direction I am so glad this book came into my hands. It is possibly the most inspiring book I have read for years. It is a book for tired ministers, frustrated church members, potential leaders, and just anybody...I cannot wait to read it again.More details
