My mistake, but disappointed

I didn’t realize this was the workbook. I thought it was a book to read, but either way, it was totally filled out and written in. Disappointed!

So YOu Want to be Like Christ

This book and study guide was excellent. It had great questions and made you challenge your own lifestyle. I grew during this study.

Book Order

I ordered a book that I wanted for a group Bible study. It was a reasonable price and arrived in just a few days. The only negative was that I was limited to ordering just one book at a time, and I would have preferred to order 5 and get a special rate on the shipping and handling. Otherwise, I am very satisfied in the service and the book.

From A Pastor's Heart!

I was humbled and uplighted by this book. For years Chuck has been a favorite of mine. His candor and preciseness are the qualities that draw me to his writes. As a young pastor I look to him for pastoral advice and I find them in his writings. This volume is primarily about eight disciplines that must be at the center of everyone's life, esp. if you are a pastor, leading God's people. I especially like his chapter on Surrender. Thank you, Chuck.

one of the best

This is surely one of Swindoll's finest, there seems to be a humbleness and passion in these pages that carries these special thoughts along. Eight disciplines are developed in a devotional style, wrapped around a core development of discipline and intimacy with God. I'm not quite through the first reading yet, and I'm already sure that I'll need at least two more times through, probably slower each time, before I can expect to see real application. I'm being challenged deeply, by a pastor who really cares about Christlikeness, in his own life and mine.

Excellent Job of Spiritual Guidance

This is one of the best 'spiritual guidance' books I have ever read. I think because his thoughts and points of view were coming from his personal experiences, rather than what he thinks things should be like. I definitely look forward to reading another book by Swindoll.
