"Wise Sheep Among the Wolves"
All Christian disciples have one thing in common: as they carry the
gospel across the ocean and across the street, persecution will
become the norm for those who choose to follow Jesus. How believers
respond in the face of persecution reveals everything about their
level of faith and obedience.
"The Insanity of Obedience" is a bold challenge to global
discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity
and calls readers to something greater. "The Insanity of Obedience"
challenges Christians in the same, provocative way that Jesus did.
This book dares you--and prepares you--to cross the street and the
oceans with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Some of Jesus' instructions sound uncomfortable and are potentially
dangerous. We may be initially encouraged by His declaration, "I am
sending you out." But how are we to respond when He then tells us
that He is sending us out "like sheep among wolves"?
In light of the words of Jesus, how can modern day believers rest
comfortably in the status quo? How can we embrace casual faith in
light of the radical commands of Jesus which are anything but
casual? Ripken brings decades of ministry experience in some of the
most persecuted areas of the world to bear on our understanding of
faith in Jesus. "The Insanity of Obedience" is a call to roll up
your sleeves . . . and to follow and partner with Jesus in the
toughest places on this planet.
"We have the high privilege of answering Jesus' call to go," Ripken
says. "But let us be clear about this: we go on His terms, not
ours. If we go at all, we go as sheep among wolves."
Jesus gives us Himself. And He gives us the tools necessary for
those who dare to journey with Him.
