This pocket-sized discipleship book was designed to encourage and challenge professing Christians to truly and fully follow Christ.
What would compel a man to sell everything he has in order to buy an open field? An overwhelming joy arising from his knowing that treasure is buried in it.
Jesus compared his kingdom to these circumstances. When we face the hard road of suffering and sacrifice to which Jesus beckons us, we act just like the man who found a treasure hidden in a field. In our joy we are able to sell all that we have and walk with Jesus along the Calvary road.
Join John Piper as he describes the cost of following Jesus, and the supreme joy which sustains believers every step of the way.
