Like all the books in the "Jesus Discipleship Boot Camp" series, this publication focuses on what Jesus himself said regarding the topic, by comprehensively surveying everything Jesus taught about his goal in the chronological order he spoke it, for maximum clarity and understanding. Since everything Jesus says and does in our lives is designed to accomplish his goal, this book is crucial for serious followers of Jesus. Aligning ourselves with Jesus' goal insures that we will experience the abundant quality of live that he has prepared for us in our journey into his likeness.
