Product Description

Inspired by the acts of sacrifice and discipline exemplified by the D-Day generation as well as the current generation of young American soldiers, many Christians today are looking for an obedient, disciplined approach to faith. This user-friendly study guides readers toward a greater understanding of eight spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith-prayer, humility, self-control, sacrifice, submission, solitude, silence, and hope. Each chapter defines and discusses the concept, then provides interactive assignments and suggestions for further study, as well as content summaries and outlines that aid in retention. Activities can be revisited again and again for a new outlook or just for a periodic refresher. Perfect for individual or group or family study, So, You Want to be Like Christ? is just right for anyone desiring to delve deeper into the fundamental elements of Christian life, and essential for all who hunger for authentic faith experiences. It is destined to be a classic text on the practice of Christianity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roadmaps and Signposts for the Spiritual Journey, April 28, 2005
By Robert W. Kellemen "Doc. K." (Crown Point, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: So, You Want To Be Like Christ?: Eight Essentials to Get You There (Hardcover)
"So, You Want to Be Like Christ?" combines two essential ingredients: crisp, creative, practical writing with a meaningful, relevant, topic. For the first time, Chuck Swindoll focuses his literary skills on the ancient art of Christian living through spiritual discipline.

While some assume that the current generation lacks discipline and the will to sacrifice, Swindoll recognizes that the opposite is true. Today's generation could become "the greatest generation" if they were mentored into the historical practices of the Church.

Swindoll provides the mentoring-in-writing through his user-friendly examination of eight classic disciplines: prayer, humility, self-control, sacrifice, submission, solitude, silence, and hope. Though these are familiar to readers of books by Foster and Willard, they are not the standard practices of most evangelical Christians. With Swindoll's reputation, he may well incite a new wave of spiritual formation.

As with his other writings, Swindoll provides ample biblical content to ground his topic theologically, then surrounds his chapters with timely illustrations, helpful suggestions, and practical exercises. For those hungry for an introduction to a deeper, more disciplined spiritual life, "So, You Want to Be Like Christ?" does indeed provide "eight essentials to get you there."

Reviewer: Dr. Robert W. Kellemen is the author of "Soul Physicians: A Theology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," "Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction," and the forthcoming "Sacred Companions: A History of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Job of Spiritual Guidance, January 8, 2006
By E. B. Drury "bri1985" (Plainview, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: So, You Want To Be Like Christ?: Eight Essentials to Get You There (Hardcover)
This is one of the best 'spiritual guidance' books I have ever read. I think because his thoughts and points of view were coming from his personal experiences, rather than what he thinks things should be like. I definitely look forward to reading another book by Swindoll.

5.0 out of 5 stars From A Pastor's Heart!, March 20, 2007
This review is from: So, You Want To Be Like Christ?: Eight Essentials to Get You There (Hardcover)
I was humbled and uplighted by this book. For years Chuck has been a favorite of mine. His candor and preciseness are the qualities that draw me to his writes. As a young pastor I look to him for pastoral advice and I find them in his writings.

This volume is primarily about eight disciplines that must be at the center of everyone's life, esp. if you are a pastor, leading God's people. I especially like his chapter on Surrender. Thank you, Chuck.
