Description
Revised in 2024 What does it mean to give up everything for the sake of Christ? In a world that teaches us to cling to our rights—our right to comfort
...
, control, and personal security—what happens when we let them go? Can we embrace a life that forfeits the comforts of a ‘normal’ standard of living for the mission of the Gospel? Are we willing to surrender the desire to control our own health, privacy, and time if it means serving others in need? What does love look like when we sacrifice the right to a ‘normal’ romance or home life for a higher calling? Can we truly give up the right to choose our companions and trust God’s plan for our relationships? What about our desire to feel superior, to take charge—can we lay that down at Christ’s feet and follow His path of humility? And, most importantly, are we ready to follow the example of the Apostle Paul, who surrendered every claim to personal rights in his pursuit of God’s mission?
This book presents a challenging yet valuable read for all believers. However, it is especially relevant for those who feel called to the mission field. It offers insights that can help prepare them for the journey ahead, including challenges of the heart they may not yet foresee.
In this edition, we've made revisions to enhance readability and improve the flow. Additionally, we've included a few footnotes, which were not part of the original text, to provide further examples from missionary biographies.
