Summary: Talk about conviction...
Comment: I will be honest. I have had this book for sometime and I have neglected to read it. I have recently decided that it was time I started reading more Christian literature. I do not read much at all, but this book was so touching to me that I felt I would add my "two cents."
This book hit me deep. God's Spirit has been tugging at my heart since I first laid hands on this book. My thinking has changed and I am just beginning to learn what true discipleship is. I have been a Christian for some years now, but I have never fully understood what "taking up ones cross" truly means.
Matthew 16:24 says, "then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'"
I must admit, this book has truly challenged me. I have already changed things in my life and I couldn't be happier. I look forward to the blessings God will bring to me in my life and also the blessings that God will allow me to provide to others through His Spirit.
If anyone one should read this and want to do me a favor, please pray that I too can "take up my cross." For myself and those in this book, it can be a very hard choice to make. I want to grow closer to God. I want to truly follow Him. This book gives the perfect example of what following Jesus truly means.
I am not a nominal Christian, but I tell you the truth, this book shows you what a first century Christian was like. I want that. I hope you want it also.

Summary: Every Christian should ponder this book
Comment: This book asked the question "What Would Jesus Do," a full century before it was fashionable to wear such phrase on bracelets, necklaces, t-shirts, etc.
Set in the late 1800's, a pastor challenges his church to take a pledge: to make no decisions before first asking "what would Jesus do." As a result, many lives were changed. Many who took that pledge suffered for it.
The book itself I suppose isn't the highest quality writing, nor the plot that intriguing. However, in the case of this book, that's not what's most important. The author really challenged me to ponder what true "sacrifice" is.
I think most any modern American reader of this book would have to admit that very few today have any idea what it means to truly suffer for Christ, and to give up all to follow him. America has been so blessed that we've forgotten what sacrifice means. It is a sad indictment on the True Church that some of the fastest growing "churches" in America and across the world today thrive because of a "health and wealth" gospel.
It makes me wonder how many in modern "churches" would take the pledge to first ask "What Would Jesus Do?" and to follow through with it. I'm afraid there wouldn't be many.

Summary: Reflective
Comment: This book causes you to think thoughts you might not otherwise consider. It encourages a fresh approach to Christianity, a more authentic application of the teachings of Jesus.
The author's intent is to cut readers away from their preconceptions and see things without cultural limitations.
He talks about the "divine impulse" and quotes the Scripture that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. Sheldon writes, "If Jesus' example is the example for the world to follow; it certainly must be feasible to follow it." This book aims to demonstrate how practical Christianity is lived out in the day to day world.
