The Bondservant's Life: Foundation for Understanding Prophecy, and a Call to Maturity, Love, and Unity in the Knowledge of God

Foundation work is necessary for every believer to become an authentic follower of Christ and remain steadfast during the trials of life. Contrary to popular belief, following Christ involves more than a decision--it is a call to serve God in love, loyalty, and radical commitment. The goal is transformation and living in wholehearted devotion to God. A biblical foundation requires growth in the knowledge of God and commitment to God's purposes. A heart postured to serve God out of love and loyalty establishes the bondservant identity and leads to friendship with God. From this place of friendship, God reveals His prophetic plans to prepare His people for what lies ahead.

Throughout the book, the author emphasizes relationship with God and the development of a genuine walk of faith grounded in the Word. A wide range of foundational topics are explored and controversial matters addressed with application for the believer's life and the goal of promoting unity. While volumes have been written about each topic in this book, the reader will find the answers needed to build a solid foundation based on the Word in this one comprehensive work. From this foundation, love and unity can flourish, and the door to understanding prophecy can be opened in the timing and purpose of God. The Bondservant's Life will fuel your desire to pursue God wholeheartedly, broaden your view of God's Word, provoke you to examine your faith, and challenge your understanding of true community among believers.

The Bondservant's Life is meant to be used as a discipleship course for growing in the knowledge of God. Students are encouraged to read this book thoughtfully, not quickly. Group Bible study leaders searching for fresh material that is organized and comprehensive will find this resource an invaluable tool. The topics covered will provide ample opportunity for discussion in group settings.
