Editorial Reviews From the Back Cover take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit. (1 Timothy 4:7 phillips) As J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ—it involves the whole person and lifestyle. Those with only a superficial belief will soon fall away from the faith, but Sanders says a true disciple would rather be presented with a difficult challenge than a soft option. Disciples are charged with the task of training themselves to be godly, because it is their responsibility to remain spiritually fit. Ever-fresh topics in this time-tested volume include: • the disciple’s second chance • the disciple’s Olympics • the disciple’s ambition • the disciple’s rights • the disciple’s senior partner • the disciple’s maturity In addition, a “For Reflection” guide is included, making this book ideal for both individual and group study. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
