The Holocaust of Spiritual Wisdom,
By
This review is from: Spiritual Discipleship (Commitment To Spiritual Growth) (Paperback)
Oswald Sanders was a missionary in Far East Asia, and field director of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship for many years. This book, Spiritual Discipleship,is one in a series of three on serious discipleship. The other two are Spiritual Maturity, and Spiritual Leadership (which Chuck Colson said was the best book on Christian leadership that he has read).For Christians who have been demoralized by the shallow and superfluous popular "fluff" that abounds on the topic of discipleship, this series will come as cool water in a desert. Sanders deals with the brutal struggles in discipleship, and makes it clear there is no spiritual growth without a price. If we are not willing to pay the price--we will not grow towards maturity. As Oswald Sanders said during a series on dispcipleship at Gull Lake Bible Conference, "There are spiritual Christians, and there are unspiritual Christians. And most are unspiritual." This kind of brutal language needs to be revived, in an age in which most Americans confuse Christian discipleship with self-help or self-optimization. In reality, the gate is still narrow, and the path hard, which leads to life (Matthew 7:14).

A Classic of Christian Principals,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spiritual Discipleship (Commitment To Spiritual Growth) (Paperback)
J Oswald Sanders brings us a delight and challenging book on what it means to be a Disciple or biblical Christian. Sanders brings to life the challenges and standards that Jesus has for out lives. He blends faith, wisdom, and examples for Christian history to help guide people back to the calling of Christ. Christianity hasn't failed because of its own flaws, but because of a lack of commitment. Sanders challenges his readers to renew the commitment and fire that turned the world upside down 2000 years ago. I've read this one over and over, and still love. A must read for anyone who wants to know why God gave us the Holy Spirit.
