The Call to Wonder: Loving God like a Child by R.C. Sproul Jr.

The Call to Wonder: Loving God like a Child by R.C. Sproul Jr.

Let’s face it, no man like to be called a “child”. We are living in a time even a child desire to be called man.

This book is scriptural challenge from Matthew 18:3 [Jesus said,] “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and becomes as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

How deceitful man can be by thinking all his theological study will measure him to spiritual maturity as man and yet R.C. Sproul Jr. humble us by saying “We should never equate theological snobbery with spiritual maturity.” Just on Chapter 7 alone “The Call to Maturity” is well worth the price of this book. And I was much moved by the closing chapter of this book where R.C. Sproul Jr give thanks to the Lord not only for “previous blessings” (his late wife) but also give thanks “for challenges and for the relief from those challenges.” (pg 171)

I can’t commend it highly enough. Jerry Bridges said it all from the opening page of this book.

Disclosure: Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a copy of The Call to Wonder: Loving God like a Child; however, all views expressed in this post are that of my own.

LEAD . . . For God's Sake!: A parable for finding the heart of leadership by Todd Gongwer

This review is from: LEAD . . . For God's Sake!: A parable for finding the heart of leadership (Hardcover)

Many leaders lead for their own glory and this book share with us how to lead for God's sake and not our. A must read for all who leads or leading in any ministry. Perhaps might not be a bad idea for parents who lead his family for God's sake.

The price of this book is well worth your purchase to read this book. You will find quite a few new refreshments from reading this book.

‎"If truth is not taught, error will replace it."

‎"If truth is not taught, error will replace it."

Charles Spurgeon's Quote

Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather, it is telling the difference between right and almost right. ~ Charles Spurgeon

William Barclay's Quote

"The duty of the Church is to be the light of the world, so shine like a light in a dark place. When an electric light bulb loses its power to shine, we throw it away, because it has lost the power of doing what it was created to do. Uselessness always invites disaster, and the Church which has ceased to shine for Christ has lost the reason for its existence." William Barclay
