Radical Christian Living by Richard Booker, in this book Mr. Booker deals with being a disciple. I love the distinction that he makes between being a christian who just makes a contribution and one who makes a commitment, he tells a funny little story for an example of what this means, he says “There was a chicken and a pig who were good friends. One day as they were walking together, the chicken notices an advertisement in the window of a restaurant. The advertisement read, “Bacon and Eggs - All you can eat for $1.00.” Feeling somewhat generous, the chicken turned to the pig and said, “Let’s go in and make a contribution.” To that, the pig replied, “You are only going to make a contribution, but I’ll have to make a commitment.”

He goes on to compare the contributions or “the laying of a few eggs” to the religious activities that seem to give us some accomplishment of duty, However Jesus does not call us to just make a contribution, He calls us to make a commitment, to give every aspect of our lives, or perhaps even our life, to Him for His glory and His purposes.

This is a good book, not a deep theological book, but a book that will make you think about your dedication to following Christ. It is worth the read.… (más)
