Bill,

You write: "There is an ever increasing body of writing on the subject of Spiritual Disciplines. I have contributed to the pile of new books on the subject with Choose The Life, Exploring a faith that embraces discipleship and with, [pardon the title] The Complete Book of Discipleship. This writing encourages readers to intentionally choose to follow Jesus, and part of that means engaging in the same practices he modeled."

Question: How do we "choose to follow Jesus" when it is he who chooses us, and not we him? (Jn.15:16)

Thanks,

Kris Baudler
