Many thanks to Lifeway Christian Resources for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

 I have been a believer for many years. I chose to follow Christ when I was attending college. It was then that I accepted the gift of salvation and realized that I needed Him. I needed Jesus to come into my life and heal me from my life of destruction. 

When I gave my life to Christ, it was many years after my brother had been killed. I was going through major depression and felt that I had no reason to live. After many years of medication and therapy that did not work, I was at the point of wanting to die but I also wanted to live. It was the love of Jesus, that I received from Christians, that helped me make a choice to live and realize that I could not be healed of my sickness on my own. From that day, I became a believer!

To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple

 As a believer in Christ, I have a relationship with Jesus. I attend church, I pray, I read the bible, and I fellowship with other believers. I look to Jesus to help me live my life. My relationship with Jesus is like that of a child and a father. I look to Jesus for guidance, wisdom, healing, love, joy, and so much more but I never thought of myself as a disciple.

Then I received a copy of the book I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer

 Then I received a copy of the book I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer and I was challenged to move beyond being a believer of Jesus to becoming His disciple. I never really thought of myself as a disciple. The Bible teaches us that the 12 disciples of Jesus. These men were selected by Jesus so I felt was not able to have this role. 

Then Priscilla helped me realize that I was qualified to become a disciple but I had to make that choice. I also learned through reading the overview of her book that discipleship comes at a high cost. Just like I accepted Jesus to be my savior, I needed to make a choice to lay down my life and follow His. This sounded like a hard thing to do.

About I Surrender All ~ Inspired by the themes of the feature film THE FORGE

From Priscilla Shirer comes this fervent appeal and invitation to surrender everything to Jesus. To follow Him not just as your Savior but as your priority, your first love, your Lord. To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple. Because there is a difference.

Salvation is a gift of God. It’s free. It’s grace. It’s the cross. Discipleship comes at a high cost. It’s surrender. It’s effort. It’s a daily choice to lay down your life and follow His. Few believers choose this route, but the ones who do will experience the abundance that only the surrendered life can offer. It’s the one choice standing between you and the life of freedom and fulfillment, of peace and purpose you’ve always wanted. I Surrender All is all about making that choice. The choice that changes everything.

This book will be impossible to simply read because it beckons you to make a decision about the kind of Christian you will be. Prepare to engage, to write, to pray, and be called into a surrendered life. An abundant life. A disciple’s life.

Making the choice to become a disciple was not an easy one

The first step to learning about becoming a disciple of Christ was to make a choice to read I Surrender All and that was not an easy one for me. I don't find joy in reading books, so making the choice to read the book was the first step in my surrender. I had to make the decision to read the book. 

 I picked up the book and read a couple pages of the first chapter. I like the beginning of the chapter as Priscilla uses a life story to help me relate to what the chapter was about. The rest of the chapter discusses some reasons why we might be afraid to surrender everything to Jesus and what discipleship is. Then came the part that was hard for me, looking up bible verses and answering questions.

This made me realize the high cost of following the route of becoming a disciple of Christ and I knew that I was not ready. So I made the choice to start praying about this and let God lead me to where I need to be. 

Are you ready to Surrender All?
