Full Description
Sometimes provocative but always encouraging, a pastor offers sage advice for leading Christ-like lives amid the stresses of modern life.
Perhaps the hardest thing about following Christ is translating our good intentions into deeds. Christ calls us, and we want to answer him, but time and again we lose resolve. Many of the selections in this book offer answers to specific problems. Others grapple with broader themes such as world suffering, salvation, and the coming of the kingdom of God. All of them pulsate with conviction and compassion, giving fresh hope to those who find themselves lonely or disheartened in the daily effort to follow Christ. Discipleship contains writings, letters, and talks from J. Heinrich Arnold's forty years of service as a pastor in the Bruderhof Communities. In the tradition of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship and C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, Arnold makes the challenges and rewards of the Christian life accessible to people regardless of their religious background.
This elegant 30th-anniversary edition, with marginal bible references, introduces this Christian classic to another generation.
