It's a call back to the essential, unchangeable priorities of biblical ministry. It's for those who dare to be different, who choose the narrow path, who hear in Paul's ancient words a fresh summons to radical faithfulness."But you." These two words create a line of demarcation between those who follow the crowd and those who follow Christ, between those who build for time and those who build for eternity, between those who seek success and those who seek faithfulness.The question is: Which side of that line will you stand on?Let this book reignite your calling, refocus your priorities, and equip you to finish well in the race God has set before you.
