Inhaltsangabe

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).
Our culture entices men to find their value and purpose through wealth, career, power, pleasure, or entertainment. Immense effort and resources are spent while traveling these broad roads to success, but they all result in eventual emptiness and meaninglessness - and ultimately lead to destruction. But Jesus declared, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

This book is written to serve as a roadmap for men to walk the narrow way that leads to life. The map directs men on a journey through scripture, discovering how God designed them to engage in relationship with Him, other Christians, and the world in a purpose-driven way. When men begin to live in the way they were designed by God, they find the deep longings of their hearts fulfilled, and their relationships with others blossom when their relationship with God is right. The roadmap can be followed by an individual man with great success, but because of God's design, the map has a powerful impact when two or more men walk on this journey together. Two Christian friends walking together, or a mentor encouraging a younger man by walking side by side on their faith journey will find studying Christ Alone - The Narrow Way to be a meaningful and life-shaping experience.

Start your journey by meeting with Ethan and Jonathon. Ethan is searching for purpose and significance in his life, and Jonathon offers to walk with him through life on the narrow way. Then journey through the Bible with them as they discover and learn:

  • How God designed man in His own image and entrusted him with the stewardship of His creation
  • The posture of humility as man's natural created state toward God, his creator
  • The impact of sin on man's relationship with God, and how Self became the ruler of man's heart through pride
  • The redemption made possible only through Jesus Christ
  • How one must receive the kingdom of God like a child, in humility
  • How true significance is only found in being fully reconciled and restored to a relationship with God
  • Jesus calls men to deny their "Self", take up their cross daily, and follow Him
  • Joy and friendship is found when walking with God and others daily on the narrow path to life
  • The enemies of your soul, and how to destroy spiritual strongholds while taking enemies captive
  • How your life is transformed through God's word and spiritual warfare

Man was designed by God to be His steward, and He has entrusted us with five areas of stewardship in this life. The roadmap will take you through these areas and teach you the responsibilities and disciplines for each one. Follow the map together as you learn about:

  • Personal stewardship
  • Household stewardship
  • "One Another" stewardship
  • Vocational stewardship
  • Community stewardship

Don't wait any longer to find your true purpose and significance. Open the roadmap and start your journey toward a richly fulfilling life with God and others!
