I was blessed with educational opportunities - a great public school system, Augustana College in Rock Island, where I met my wife Christina. We went to Canada for my seminary and her graduate work in German. Yale gave me the chance to earn an STM from excellent professors - Dahl, Malherbe, and Holmer. I also heard Roland Bainton lecture and corrsponded with him. After ordination I was given a full scholarship for the PhD program in theology at Notre Dame. I began publishing articles in Canada in the 1970s and began publishing books later.
Where has this book been all my life? This book explains in very simple, step-by-step terms, the process of surrendering to and following Jesus in a practical way that will lead to continued victory as a Christian. It shows you how to avoid the pitfalls of those who fall on different sides of the theological spectrum, including the supposed "balanced" middle, by placing your focus in the right pace. It is saturated with Bible verses and principles and has given me a deeper, clearer understanding of what surrender really means and looks like. Short read, I could not put it down much once I started it.
