Produktbeschreibung
Quiet talks on following the Christ explores the spiritual depth of discipleship through a focus on personal connection with Jesus formed by faith. The text centers on friendship, sacrifice, and obedience, encouraging a reflective understanding of what it means to truly follow. Rather than presenting abstract theology, it uses intimate, narrative-driven reflections to show how Christ invites individuals into a relationship rooted in humility and shared purpose. A conversation with a skeptical officer sets the stage for considering how real and transformative faith can be. The work stresses that following Christ involves embracing his example not just in belief, but in action highlighting humility, trust, and self-offering as guiding values. The call to follow becomes a call to live with intention, kindness, and spiritual integrity. Readers are prompted to view Jesus not only as a figure of worship, but as a companion who leads through love, inviting each person to mirror his life through committed, heartfelt discipleship.
Autorenporträt
Samuel Dickey Gordon was born on August 12, 1859, in Philadelphia, he became a prominent evangelical lay minister and author during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His early career included serving as assistant secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) from 1884 to 1886, after which he took on the role of state secretary for the YMCA in Ohio, a position he held until 1895. His work with the YMCA shaped his commitment to Christian outreach and personal ministry. Gordon gained widespread recognition for his "Quiet Talks" series, a collection of devotional books beginning in 1903 that focused on spiritual subjects and presented in an approachable and reflective style. These writings stood out for their conversational tone and emphasis on individual experience with God. His works were distinct from many contemporary religious authors, contributing a deeply personal perspective on spiritual life. He passed away in June 1936, leaving behind a legacy rooted in lay ministry and written devotion.
