The Life Jesus Chose: Introducing the Spiritual Disciplines

Christians can follow Jesus in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. In The Life Jesus Chose, Adam W. Christman takes readers into a conversation about how Jesus lived with regards to the spiritual disciplines of the Christian life. The spiritual disciplines are defined and explained through the lens of how Jesus utilized these disciplines in His own life as reported in the eyewitness accounts we know as the four Gospels. The book walks through nine spiritual disciplines, ranging from Bible reading and prayer to simple living and celebration. Enjoy this brief but meaningful journey through an important subject on Christian living! "The first line in this book says it best – become like Jesus! This kind of life change is a discipleship mandate but seems like an ethereal goal. Fortunately, becoming more like Jesus is the result of implementing simple, yet profoundly transformational spiritual disciplines. As you follow Jesus’ example of living these disciplines, you will change at the core of who you are while taking on the character and qualities of Jesus. Read this practical guidebook as a pathway to new dimensions of life in Jesus Christ." Dr. Jeff Iorg President, SBC Executive Committee “Adam Christman has written a timely and significant book. The purpose of the book is outstanding: to encourage readers to live like Jesus did to the best of their ability strengthened by the Holy Spirit. The categories included challenge the readers to think beyond a superficial commitment to God. The easy-to-read style is conversational, born out of years as a pastor. Dr. Christman's passion to be like Jesus is obvious as is his desire to help others as well.” Dr. Rick Melick Senior Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Gateway Seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention "This book is an excellent introduction to the spiritual disciplines. Dr. Christman walks the reader through simple and profound truths in a clear, encouraging, and challenging way. Rather than approaching the subject from the perspective of pressure tactics or guilt tripping, Dr. Christman captures joy of serving God and following the example of Christ. He encourages us to embark on this wonderful journey through the same disciplines practiced by Christ when he was on earth. I highly recommend this book for any believer who wants to draw closer to God and follow Christ faithfully." Peter J. Vik Pastor, Highpoint Church Associate Professor of Biblical Studies, San Diego Christian College
