Magnificent Obsession: The Joy of Christian Commitment : With Study Question for Individuals or Groups

by John White

Jesus described the kingdom of God as being like a pearl so valuable that one would sell everything one has to obtain it. In this book John White reworks his "Cost of Commitment" to show that although there are costs to following Jesus, there are even greater joys to be found. Good introduction to the topic. A.W. Tozer's "The Pursuit of God" and John Piper's "Desiring God" touch on the same themes.

"(...) o caminho da cruz, o caminho do compromisso, é o caminho para liberdade. É um caminho que se concentra na alegria, embora envolva sofrimentos; em paz, embora envolva conflitos; em confiança crescente, embora você possa lutar contra dúvidas. Acima de tudo, é uma jornada rumo à intimidade." Página 152 de 172

Deus já está falando, você só precisa aprender a escutar.
