Arnold guides readers toward leading Christ-like lives amid the stress and strain of modern life. Perhaps the hardest thing about following Christ is translating our good intentions into deeds. Christ calls us, and we yearn to answer him, but time and again we lose resolve. Is discipleship really possible today? Many of the selections in this book offer answers to specific needs or problems. Others grapple with broader themes such as world suffering, salvation, and the coming of the kingdom of God. All of them pulsate with conviction and compassion, giving fresh hope to those who find themselves lonely or disheartened in the daily search to follow Christ. J. Heinrich Arnold served for many years as elder of the Bruderhof, a Christian communal movement. Discipleship contains writings, letters, and talks from his forty years of service as pastor, marriage counselor, educator, and parent.

A veces sensible, a veces provocativo, pero siempre alentador, Arnold guia a los lectores a llevar una vida a semejanza de Cristo, en medio de las presiones y tensiones de la vida moderna. Tal vez lo mas dificil de seguir a Cristo es convertir nuestras buenas intenciones en hechos. Cristo nos llama y anhelamos responder a su llamado, pero una y otra vez fallamos en nuestra determinacion. ?Es posible el discipulado hoy? Muchas selecciones en este libro ofrecen respuestas a necesidades o problemas especificos. Otras abordan temas mas amplios como el sufrimiento en el mundo, la salvacion y la venida del reino de Dios. Pero todas estan llenas de conviccion y compasion, dando nueva esperanza a los que se encuentran solos o desanimados en la busqueda diaria de seguir a Cristo.
