If you can find this book it is a terrific buy. It contains four books by R.C. Sproul in one. The original four books were entitled “Who is Jesus?” (1983); “Ethics and the Christian” (1983); and “God’s Will and the Christian” and “Effective Prayer” – both issued in 1984. These books have been reworked by reformation Trust as individual titles again. However, if you want to get a better bang for your buck try to get a copy of this book. R C Sproul is a phenomenal communicator and writes clearly, articulately, theologically and practically.
The Way “Following Christ” is organized is as follows:
Part One: Who Is Jesus?
1) Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up?
2) The Titles of Jesus
3) The Life of Jesus
Does Prayer Change Things?
4) The Place of Prayer
5) The Purpose of Prayer
6) The Pattern of Prayer
7) The Practice of Prayer
8) The Prohibitions of Prayer
9) The Power of Prayer
How Can I Know God’s Will?
10) The Meaning of God’s Will
11) The Meaning of Man’s Will
12) God’s Will and Your Job
13) God’s Will in Marriage
How Should I Live in This World?
14) Ethics and Morals
15) Revealed Ethics
16) Legalism and Antinomianism
17) The Ethics of Materialism
18) The Ethics of Capital Punishment
19) The Ethics of War
20) The Ethics of Abortion
21) Ethics and Conscience
I can’t recommend this book highly enough – whether you get the four books in one, or individually as they have been reissued – either way – with Sproul it’s always a winner!
