An Excellent Resource for Discipleship

In our days where evangelical churches emphasize quick decisions, mechanical 'the sinner's prayer', numbers, fun and programs without earnest efforts in discipleship, I consider Sproul's "Pleasing God" one of my highly recommended materials (another one is J.C Ryle's "Holiness") for new Christians to grow in grace in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. The book contains basic doctrines of sin, justification, atonement, sanctification, assurance and exhortation to persevere to the end. Even for mature Christians, there is nothing wrong to go back to the basics. As always, Prof. Sproul, whose writing style tends to resemble that of C.S. Lewis', mixes doctrines, applications and examples, some of which are taken from his own testimonies and experiences.

What Would Jesus Do?

As a new Christian I hunger to know God, to know His will for me, and to understand my place in this world. RC provides practical guidance for that purpose. In Pleasing God, as in all his books, I find his logical, analytical and humorous approach to theology completely engaging. Each chapter centers around an issue we must face, such as the battle with the flesh, then describes real world examples and addresses the appropriate Christian response through scripture passages and our Lord's perfect example. I highly recommend this along w/Sproul's other treasures, such as Almighty Over All, The Holiness of God, and Chosen by God.
