Conversion
"Conversion is a work above man's power. We are 'born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God' (John 1:13). Never think you can convert yourself. If ever you would be savingly converted, you must despair of doing it in your own strength. It is a resurrection from the dead (Ephesians 2:1), a new creation (Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 2:10), a work of absolute omnipotence (Ephesians 1:19). Are not these out of the reach of human power? ... This is a supernatural work ... 'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but of mercy he saved us' ... 'Of his own will he begat us' (James 1:18). We are chosen and called unto sanctification, not for it (Ephesians 1:4). God finds nothing in man to turn His heart, but enough to turn His stomach; He finds enough to provoke His loathing, but nothing to excite His love. Look back upon yourself, O Christian! Reflect upon your swinish nature, your filthy swill, your once beloved mire (2 Peter 2). Behold your slime and corruption ... How then should holiness and purity love you? ... Who but must needs cry, Grace! Grace! ... What but free grace could move God to love you."

Synopsis
"'Jesus asks for a lifetime's commitment to the armies of the Lord: you serve until you die. My prayer for this book us t hat it should call you to effective service and show you some of the disciple's weapons; that it should teach you how to press on when the going gets tough, and that it should help you to live a life of love - a life worthy of the Lord you serve.' Renowned leader Verwer (OM) challenges us to effective service for the Lord and helps us live a life worthy of the calling. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition."
