DESCRIPTION:
The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples.. Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. The Imperfect Disciple is for the rest of us - people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows listeners how the gospel works in them and in their lives when: They can't get their act together They think God is giving them the silent treatment They think church would be better without all the people They're not happy with the person in the mirror And much more Wilson frees listeners from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual
Encouragement for the Everyday Christian Jen Christian brother or sister, you are loved by the God of the universe. No matter what you do, you are loved. This is the theme of this short, but important book about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We don't need to be perfect, ever. We don't need to have it all together, ever. We just need to be repentant and seeking to follow the Lord in our day to day lives.Consider reading this one if you're feeling discouraged. God will use it to lift you up.Thanks, Ja. Sanctification for Dummies For Christians who are intimidated by weighty books on sanctification, or wracked with guilt over their many tried and failed attempts at discipleship, or for whom the very word "discipleship" makes them roll their eyes or break out in hives, this is the book that could change their minds, and the trajectory of their spiritual life. Conversational in tone, subversively deep in content. Highly recommended.. Amazon Customer said Don't Read if You Are Satisfied with Where you Are. In keeping with the title, this is not a perfect book. But it is well worth reading. It is not written for the mature, "perfect" Christian but for the disciple who struggles and deals with weakness and failure. The author shares many personal experiences. He uses humor. There are a few places where the reader may wonder what a reference is about. But the book is right on target and is an encouraging book. Written by Blake Western
