Updated Second Edition Jesus' final words in the book of Matthew say, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." This book offers a realistic, comprehensive framework for obeying that command. The Whole Life Offering is a practical and detailed manual for personal and church discipleship training. There is one chapter for each of the ten "Works of Mercy" which Christ commands all Christians to practice, e.g., Doing Good, Sharing Your Bread, Opening Your Home, Healing, Forgiving and Reconciling, and more. Each of these "Works of Mercy" is studied biblically through the seven "Works of Piety", or interior spiritual disciplines, in which those Works of Mercy must be grounded, e.g., searching the scriptures, prayer, worship, giving, and more. The book is rooted in Scripture and two thousand years of biblical Christian wisdom and provides simple, powerful, practical ways for every Christian and church to obey Jesus' discipleship commands in all of Scripture.
