An Eye Single to the Glory of God: Reflections on the Cost of Discipleship

by Robert L. Millet

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? How do we recognize the call to discipleship, understand its costs, and realize its rewards? Well-known author and professor of religion Robert L. Millet answers these questions as he reflects on the quest for discipleship in which we as members of the Church are engaged. He offers suggestions such as developing humility, taking up our own cross, remembering the poor and the needy, and learning to love as the Savior loves. "To be a disciple is to seek to be changed," he says, "to open ourselves to the transforming powers of Jesus Christ. . . to begin to see and feel things as the Master does. The disciple seeks to become like Him." An Eye Single to the Glory of God offers insight and inspiration for all who want to become more dedicated followers of the Savior.

"I love this book. It helped me understand discipleship. Help me realize that I was on the path. And help me to know when I needed to do more. Everyone should read this book to be reassured, enlightened and enriching. I am reading it for the third time." --Customer Review

Sobering.

While this may be a short book, it's definitely not short of amazing. It thoroughly explores and discusses what it means to be a true follower of Jesus Christ and everything that goes with it - loving and serving others, learning about and knowing the Gospel, etc. There were quite a few times I paused to ask myself, "Am I a true disciple of Christ? When people look at me do they see that?"

Millet asks "what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?" What are the rewards?"
He talks about how it is necessary to seek to be changed when we truly become disciples. As we become more like the Savior we become more worthy of living with Him.
It is written for anyone that wants to become more dedicated and followers of the Savior.
A good book that I recommend to all.

Great book to help a person understand that we need to keep our eye single to the glory of God. It helped me to realize even if I do just 1% more than I am doing right now, that is the step in the right direction.
