Publisher's summary

Do you long to be more like Christ?

Discipleship lies at the center of Christian life and practice. It is a beautiful journey, in which each of us simultaneously attempt to become more like Christ and to help others do the same. It is our most important task on earth, but often it is neglected or misunderstood. A. W. Tozer, on the other hand, knew exactly what it meant to disciple and to be discipled. Discipleship: What It Truly Means to Be a Christian is a collection of Tozer’s powerful and passionate message on discipleship.

In it, you will learn about: the call, terms, and marks of discipleship; devotional practices; obedience; reproducing disciples. Whether you are a new believer or have known Christ for a lifetime, Tozer’s words will encourage and inspire you to love Jesus more.

Come and be discipled by this beloved spiritual writer.

Right on point!

I think everyone should listen to this book. Tozer presents a clear argument that the easy salvation of most of evangelical Christianity is an illusion. While it is easy to accept the Lord Jesus into our hearts by crying out to Him for forgiveness and help, we must continue on our journey to follow Him into the Kingdom of Heaven. I think that if we really cry out to Jesus and accept the Holy Spirit into ourselves we will go on this journey of discipleship automatically, you cannot continue on your old path believing you're alright. I didn't know the extent to which my cry for salvation would change my life, but here I am listening to Christian books and leaving a review to encourage you to listen as well. Then go out and do something in the real world to spread the Word.

Must Read

Inspirational. Reminds us there is more to being a Christian than showing up to church once or twice a week!

Powerful

Great material. Organized well. Necessary resource for the local church. Highly recommend for small group

Another great book by A.W. Towzer.

A.W. Towzer has been very enjoyable and enlightening with some profitable insight on our Walk with God.

the holy Spirit

there was nothing that I didn't like about the book it was all good information to use in your christian walk...

Thought Provocative

First off let me just say that I'm not a big audio book fan but this medium allowed me to get through a book I didn't have the time to read; listened to most of the book while driving.

I love how Tozer shares his perspective and admits that even the very things he says and does are being challenged.

I don't agree with everything he says but I agree that being a Disciple of Christ embodies more than just saying "I accept Jesus as Lord".

This book will fuel many discussions in the future. I certainly will be listening to this book again to make note of a few quotes (may even get a printer version as well).

Heavy Hitter

There is some stuff in here that will shake you, in a wonderful way. Powerful book, well and clearly read.

Excellent!!!

Holy Spirit inspired for sure because conviction was felt in different areas of my life! Definitely a spirit palate cleanser!

Truth Indeed

I loved it. It is an undiluted truth for christians today. You must keep it.

A MUST FOR THE UNLEARNED OF THE FAITH

There are many, new in the faith and old in the faith that have never learned the importance of discipleship. Someone has said "salvation is the gift of God freely given to us by grace through faith. At no cost to us we have received so great salvation. On the other hand "discipleship" costs much, for we're commanded to deny self and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. This book should be handed to every believer the moment they are first saved, so that their life will have purpose in following the Lord Jesus who is the light of life.

What one is taught at the outset of their walk will enable them to live a life of faith pleasing to the Lord, with aim and purpose in accomplishing His will. This book, by AW Tozer, is a book that can help a believer as he walks in this life as a disciple. As usual, Tozer writes unapologetically, explaining the way of the Lord regarding discipleship. More and more I meet many people, that have been in the faith for a long time, and yet do not have an understanding on the importance and purpose of discipleship. The editor compiled Tozer's writings in a great way and I believe this book could bless many In this life of tumult and confusion. our Lord said "I am the light of the way the world, if anyone follows Me he shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12) This book will help the believer to walk in the light of the Lord.

The illustration of the Siamese twins, at the beginning of the book grabbed my attention immediately. It made the point that salvation and discipleship, though different, cannot be severed from one another; One follows the other.Tozer's unvarnished, straight ahead way of writing gets the truth across without apology but with great purpose to the one willing to hear. The one willing to hear will be blessed immensely in his life.
