Making Jesus Lord: The Dynamic Power of Laying Down Your Rights

by Loren Cunningham and Janice Rogers

Book Overview

The ultimate challenge. Laying down rights is a concept foreign to our culture, indeed foreign to the very nature of humankind. We live in a world in which the protection and exaltation of individual rights has become an obsession. As Christians we believe that personal rights do hold great value. Therefore, we can perform no greater act of faith and worship than to consciously lay down these rights at the feet of the One who has gone before us, Jesus...

Amazong

I was just starting my missionary training with Youth With a Mission (YWAM)-the organization tha tMr. Cunningham helped to start- and this book was one of the books I had to choose from for the book reports they wanted us to do. I had already ready his first book "Is that really you God?" and I decided to try this one. I read in his book the things "rights" I believe that I am supposed to have. It turned my thinking around. I saw those rights as a privilege and knew that God was in control of everything. He had supplied the money for me to go to YWAM and Money was the biggest thing in my life. Recently I had some one think that I was crazy to want to serve God in everything. This friend thought I should go into psychiatry for the money when what I wanted ot do was go into Christian counseling. A year ago I would have thought the same, BUT Mr. Cunninghams book helped me to look deeper into the Bible and myself and find "What di I need to lay down to serve Him so much more?"

Excellent

Loren Cunningham has written only three books. Yet, all are excellent, as it is also this one. «Making Jesus Lord», discusses the issue of making Jesus what we confess that He is: LORD. A truly wonderful work on a very serious matter.

Willing to giving up my rights

In this book, Loren (the author) encouraged me to give up my rights through mentioning scriptures and telling his rich experiences about this topic. This book is telling about the classic issure, LORDSHIP, with lots of exciting examples. I can also see that laying down my rights gives more freedom in my life. Through this book, you can indirectly experience the freedom of those who follow God's way, so you may want to give up your rights to get more intimacy with God and freedom in him.
