Let's strip away the archetypical overly masculine sales pitches and "politically correct" definitions. Let's discover the raw core of manhood. Let’s reclaim an integral thread to society.

Many believers want to serve the Lord. Many aspire to be servants of the Lord. This is wholesome. However, not many believers have asked themselves what this service of the Lord is. It is easily discernable that most of what people call the service of God is really the service of man...The obstacle to becoming the servant of another man is self. When self is dealt with, a person can become the servant of God and, with increasing dealings with self, the servant of God can become the slave of God and, with even more dealings with self, the slave of God can become the slave of all men.

Discipleship is a very costly business, and in moments of severe trials, one may be tempted to ask, “Why go into all this trouble of suffering with Christ? Why not give up? Is there any reward?” A disciple of Christ is a person who has, first of all, received the Lord Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior and is therefore reconciled to God, and, secondly, has set his whole heart, mind, and all to seek him.

This book is written for the lost. It originated as a result of an epiphany based on an article about the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars. Once a year, Curiosity would stop and celebrate the anniversary of its arrival on Mars by stopping briefly to sing "Happy Birthday" to itself. Then, once again, it continues through the dry desolation of the planet surface on a path of discovery.

Pastor John Kilpatrick sounds a prophetic trumpet for believers to lay down their plans and programs that will never bring true revival. This is a call to return to the simplicity of the Gospel! Drawing on his experience hosting the Brownsville revival in Pensacola, Florida, from 1995 until 2000, Pastor Kilpatrick speaks from experience as he compels us to face the fact that comfortable, halfhearted self-help messages will never bring the revival we need.

The Gospel is primarily about God. Part of the glory of the New Testament is that it explains the Gospel to us in terms of the glorious work of the three persons of the Trinity. Yet many can miss the rich Trinitarian backdrop of the New Testament because they are not looking for it. Knowing the Trinity shows that knowing God is knowing him as Triune and that to know him is to love him. Each section leads listeners to meditate on God’s work and how they relate to him in light of passages of Scripture that appeal to all three divine persons.

Gathered in this booklet is a sampling of the simplest but most effective pathways to connect with God in daily life. Most of the sections have been influenced by my retreat work with high school and college students, university faculty, and alumni. The rest of the booklet contains spiritual wisdom and advice that I have found holds universal appeal to all age groups seeking growth in the Christian life. All of it is intended as a means to draw you deeper into God’s love.

If you are a child of God who still commits sin deliberately, committing the same sin over and over, it is because your eyes have never been opened to see that sin is a knife thrust willingly into God's heart; your eyes have never been opened to see the harm that sin causes in every domain of your life.

God, as the Creator of man, has given every member of the human race a talent or talents with which to function in his universe. You have a talent! Every human being has a talent. Some human beings have many talents, but there is no human being without a talent.

I am burdened by the increasing numbers of believers who know the Lord very superficially. They do not love Him. They find the time spent in His presence uninteresting. Often they do not know what to say to Him. We believe that when believers, in an increasing number, begin to withdraw and spend time alone in God's presence, something will happen to them. They will know God and then they will seek Him more and more. They will serve Him from His presence and things will be different. They will make spiritual progress.

This is the most important book I have ever written or will ever write. There can be no greater need today than to disciple Christians one-on-one to obey Jesus Christ as Lord. The Great Commission is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment. To love is to obey, and to obey Jesus is to make disciples of all nations. Making disciples one-on-one is very simple, but it will cost you your life. Making disciples one-on-one is very powerful. You get to impart and teach Christians everything the Lord has commanded you. What a great advantage this is for new believers.

All believers are carrying out banking. Some bank in earthly banks, others bank in their stomachs, others in clothes, cars, and the like, while some bank in heaven. The supreme challenge of our time is the effective presentation of Jesus Christ as savior and lord and the building up of the church which is his bride. This is a difficult and demanding task. If we are to achieve our objectives, then a wholehearted commitment is absolutely necessary.
