Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The cost of discipleship is often emphasized by Christians. But it must not be left out that it is also difficult to be a non-discipled person. Life is difficult for those who don't follow Christ. #2 We all know that we won't succeed in being like our favorite baseball star if we only try to be like him during the game. We must understand that the secret of entering into the easy yoke is a daily regimen of preparation of mind and body. #3 Following Jesus is not about loving our enemies, going the second mile, and turning the other cheek. It is about living as he lived all his life, adopting his lifestyle. If we try to live as he did when he was on the spot, we'll experience frustration instead of ease. #4 The human condition is to want what is right and important, but not to commit to the life that will make those things happen. We intend what is right, but we avoid the life that would make it reality.
