Hard To Believe : The High Cost and Infinite Value of Following Jesus [ABRIDGED]

Description of Hard To Believe:

Popular perception of Jesus Christ is that of a tempered, genteel man who walked the earth, offering nuggets of wisdom to His followers. But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires. In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus’ life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.

Description of John Macarthur, author of Hard To Believe:

Christians often choose to overlook or simplify the hard words Jesus spoke. In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, MacMarthur delivers the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he urges readers to consider the call of self-denial versus self-fulfillment, the necessity of leaving behind all of your baggage to enter the "narrow gate" and that Christianity isn't about satisfaction; it's about sacrifice. These two cassettes last for 180 minutes and will help you make a Christian sacrifice, valid because it is for Jesus' sake and not for the sake of a cause or lifestyle. Read by the author. Abridged. 2 cassettes. 180 minutes.
