I bought two copies of the book and I gave one to my grandaughter who leaves for Africa in 23 days with a group of young adults from the Summit Church in Orlando Fl. I am sure this book will give strength and purpose in this missin trip. I know I will be placing another order for books soon. Hi Chip,

I have been so enlightened by reading "Embrace the Cross", and was given incredible confirmation to something I read there last night. It was so freeing to me! Bear with me for I must needs quote from the book on page 155..."A disciple of the Lord Jesus is someone who enters the narrow gate and walks the narrow path until they come to the end of the narrow path and are left with nothing but Christ,"..and also from page 170..."Entering the Gate in not the end of the journey, it is the beginning of the journey. It is at the end of the Path that one finds Life (Mt.7:14),not at the beginning." Take notice of the word "end". I was singing from my hymnal this morning after last night's reading being inclined to praise the Lord for His love and mercy for showing me this wonderful truth. The hymn that I turned to without chosing a specific one was "Footsteps of Jesus". The last stanza goes as follows..."Then at last, when on high He sees us, Our journey done, We will rest where the steps of Jesus End at His throne." With that I will end, and thank God for His daily wonderful gifts of love!!! May His everlasting song fill your heart today and every day. Marilyn The Holy Spirit truly is our Teacher!

Do these words imply that "Our" is Jesus and I.

I am so thankful for having found your website. I found it last summer when struggling with the decision to leave the Church I was attending. The first time I picked up a Bible was just over 4 years ago and your teaching is helping me so much. I did leave the Church (charismatic) after they started teaching (women's group) from a book that was not biblically sound. I am just glad that Embrace the Cross is still in the works and don't worry, I still have several webinars to catch up on and I am hoping that the next one you start I shall be able to join on-line. Thanks again - God Bless you and Karla!! Sue Hi Chip,
Thanks!

Karla's surgery delayed my ability to work on it, and it has taken longer than I expected. But I'm making progress, which I've been saying every week for the last three months. We'll get there soon! Hi Sue,

The discipleship course is still being developed… Karla’s surgery delayed my ability to work on it, and it has taken longer than I expected. But I’m making progress, which I’ve been saying every week for the last three months. We’ll get there soon!
