About this title

Synopsis

"Anything short of complete devotion to Christ is inadequate and must end in futility and loss." – A. W. Tozer

True Discipleship: No Cross, No Christianity
There is no receiving Christ without the Cross, no embracing Christianity without surrender, and no knowing God without full obedience. In a world where Christianity has been diluted into a painless, cost-free decision, A. W. Tozer brings us back to the radical essence of following Jesus. True discipleship requires a revolutionary attachment to Christ—marked by sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering devotion.

Restoring the Meaning of Discipleship
In True Discipleship: Embracing the Call to Follow Jesus to Calvary with Faith, Sacrifice, and Devotion, Tozer confronts the watered-down substitutes for faith that have infiltrated modern Christianity. He declares that being a Christian is not optional for those who claim to follow Christ—discipleship is not a choice; it is the only way.

A Call to Intimacy with God
The purpose of redemption is to restore humanity’s closeness with God, and every believer’s goal must be an increasingly intimate relationship with Him. Tozer challenges Christians to rise above earthly distractions, to fix their eyes on the heavenly future promised by Christ’s return, and to live in a way that pleases their Savior and Lord.

Living with Heavenly Purpose
We must recapture the hope of His coming, a hope that inspires and elevates our lives beyond the temporal. With God as our refuge and strength, Tozer urges us to live boldly and intentionally, reflecting the true meaning of discipleship and glorifying God in all we do.
