Life on the Altar by James B Law


★★★★ 
☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. 

Self-sacrifice is hardly a popular theme in the Church today. We're more into self-actualizing and realizing our potential.

But what if we carefully read Romans 12:1 and other scriptures and do what they say? What if we lay our lives down, one decision after another, one day after another? What if we trust God enough to let him give our lives away and let living water flow unobstructed through our being?

This book is a challenge to every believer and especially to pastors and leaders to lay down our own plans and let God work through us.

It reminds me of the classic Blackaby study Experiencing God. We're called to listen, hear, relinquish, and obey - regardless of consequences to the self. Only then do we participate in the kingdom of God and realize our true purposes.
