On the High Road to Surrender

Rating:
Summary: Treasures Unveiled
Review: The Bible is full of mind-boggling antitheses. If you have been wondering what Jesus meant by what He said in the Beatitudes, and what He meant by taking up the Cross, then this book will hit the nail on the head. The Cross is a very central theme in the Bible, and cannot be overemphasised by Jesus. Frances Roberts is able to unveil what many preachers have conveniently left aside because of its complicated applications. Many Christians have not understood what "rest" is, as evident by the many hurried activities and scurrying around to do "Christian work." Roberts, like Watchman Nee and Francis Frangipane, takes pains to make sure that the reader understands what his priority should be.

All three authors write in detail about the Cross, but Roberts gives the clearest and most vivid pictures of what is required of us by the Lord. He is so practical in his advice that it is hard to avoid the point he tries to bring across.

With major themes like stillness versus activity, confidence versus doubt, contentment versus outward achievement, holiness versus sacrifice, disentanglement versus involvement, no Christian attempting to know the heart of the Father should be without this book. It simple puts us on the right road when so much misconception exists about what Christianity is all about.
