Synopsis

Nestled in a few verses in Luke's Gospel is a Jesus who would not have been tolerated today: He was not politically correct and He certainly did not try to save people's feelings. Steven Lawson unpacks these few verses, looking at the unashamed honesty, passion, and urgency with which Jesus explains the life-long cost involved in choosing to follow Him. True Christianity is the biggest sacrifice any person ever makes ... but it is in pursuit of the most precious prize ever glimpsed.

Goodreads review by Bill on June 03, 2018

The author, a respected preacher, tells us that to follow Jesus is the greatest adventure in all of life. There is no journey that can compare to this one. On this journey you will find the real purpose for which you were created. This short book, which reads like it may have originally been a sermo......more

Goodreads review by Peter Kiss on March 30, 2023

Lawson is not a prolific writer, but this book is a great, clear presentation of what the Gospel message truly means to those who follow it. I particularly enjoyed his interpretation of passages like Jesus telling the rich man to sell all that he has; ultimately, we as Christians recognize that we a......more
