Untamed

I bought the book "Untamed" (written by Alan & Debra Hirsch) on my Nook yesterday. Here's a few quotes I want to keep handy:

"Surveys and polls reveal that in many countries, the lifestyles of believers are not very different from those of nonbelievers. Too many Christ followers have settled for living a nice, comfortable, moral, and decent life instead of following the radical and wild adventure of trusting God's promises and obeying His commands." - The Forward, written by Rick Warren

"I have come to believe we are never going to be the movement Jesus wants unless we first get the issues of discipleship right. This is because the health and growth of transformative Jesus movements are directly related to their capacity to make disciples. No disciples, no movement - it's that simple."

"To be a truly radical disciple does require a relentless evaluation of life's priorities and concerns, together with an ongoing, rigorous critique of our culture, to ensure we are not adoption values that subvert the very life and message we are called to live out."

...More to come...
