Hard Sayings: Reconciling the Cost of Discipleship and the American Dream

by Joshua West

Is the version of Jesus we talk about and preach in our churches the same Jesus that is revealed to us in the scriptures? Is there such a thing as discipleship without self-denial and sacrifice? Is our idea of the American dream and having it all compatible with what the Bible says about the cost of discipleship? In this book, Joshua West will ask these questions and talk about what it means to pick up your cross and follow Jesus in the twenty-first century.

Reviews

[Jackie]

Excellent book by a courageous writer. He doesn't sugarcoat anything about the state of American churches. Full of Biblical truth and honesty that we all need to address.

[Jess Alex]

Un livre du style rappel de l'essentiel. Toujours bon à lire régulièrement pour se remettre les idées en place. La note n'est pas plus haute car ce genre de livre dépend aussi beaucoup des circonstances dans lequel on le lit (par exemple si c'est le premier ou si l'on est pas habitué à ce genre de propos)
