Beskrivning

Sometimes provocative but always encouraging, a pastor offers sage advice for leading Christ-like lives amid the stresses of modern life.Perhaps the hardest thing about following Christ is translating our good intentions into deeds. Christ calls us, and we want to answer him, but time and again we lose resolve. Many of the selections in this book offer answers to specific problems. Others grapple with broader themes such as world suffering, salvation, and the coming of the kingdom of God. All of them pulsate with conviction and compassion, giving fresh hope to those who find themselves lonely or disheartened in the daily effort to follow Christ. Discipleship contains writings, letters, and talks from J. Heinrich Arnold’s forty years of service as a pastor in the Bruderhof Communities. In the tradition of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship and C. S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, Arnold makes the challenges and rewards of the Christian life accessible to people regardless of their religious background.This elegant 30th-anniversary edition, with marginal bible references, introduces this Christian classic to another generation.

Mer om författaren

J. Heinrich Arnold (1913–1982) is best known for his books Discipleship and Freedom from Sinful Thoughts, which have helped thousands to follow Christ in their daily lives, and for his pastoral care as elder of the Bruderhof communities. When Arnold was seven, his parents founded the Bruderhof, a Christian community based on Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. As a young man, he refused to serve in Hitler's armed forces and was forced to flee Germany. He studied agriculture in Zurich, Switzerland, and in 1936 married Annemarie Wächter, a kindergarten teacher and fellow Bruderhof member. In 1938 they moved to England, where Heinrich managed the community’s farm. (The community had been expelled from Nazi Germany.) In 1941 the community was forced to emigrate to South America. In 1954, Heinrich Arnold and his family moved to the Woodcrest Community in Rifton, New York, the first of many Bruderhof communities in North America. From 1962 until his death, he served as elder and pastor of the growing movement. More details about Arnold's life can be found in his biography, Homage to a Broken Man, by Peter Mommsen.
