“Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” (Lk. 14:27)
Embrace the Cross was written specifically to call people to radical faith in Jesus and Christ-centered discipleship. This book contains nearly everything Chip has ever written about the Cross, discipleship, and following Jesus – plus some things never before published. Every chapter compels the reader to consider what being a real disciple of Jesus is all about. The goal of this book is to challenge, confront, convict, and convince both saints and sinners alike to embrace the Cross!
But what is at stake here is more than just a book. The book is simply a key that opens the door to a much larger world. In the back of the book is an invitation to visit a special website and enroll in our basic discipleship course. When you give this book to your friends, family, neighbors, or strangers that you meet, you won’t just be giving them something else to read – you’ll be giving them an opportunity to know Jesus in a deeper way. Because the book leads them to the discipleship course, and that leads them to spiritual maturity in Christ. Of course, all of it points to Him anyway.
To read some excerpts from the book, visit our discipleship site at EmbraceTheCross.Org.

Hey Chip,
I just got my order today, 6 copies of Embrace the Cross, and WOW!!! I only have a few pages left, I couldn’t put it down once I got started. After 12 years of following the Lord, I am beginning to see some errors that I followed from some questionable mentoring I have received. Thanks so much for offering this book as it will truly help anyone who reads it. You can take the covers off and it is basically the Word of God, only explained a little better. When I was saved, I lost my wife, daughter, my friends and money/material posessions. He has blessed me materially, financially and spiritually, however I always equated the loss and hurt that I experienced with what it cost to be His disciple. I do understand now how and why I still struggle with some of my old sins, and have not been victorious in my walk with the Lord. I sure hope that the Lord uses you to write more on other topics, like remarriage, for instance. Anyway, thanks for sharing what the Lord has blessed you with my Brother..
In Christ,
Chris

I received the book and devoured it. I loved the two-fold message. I needed to understand it and you explained it well.
Thank you for the CD also, following in the footsteps of the Master. Yesterday my husband was off of work and I had an extra copy of the book still in the envelope and went to get it out because I wanted to share something with him. I saw the CD and remembered it came with my order. I said to him, “why don’t we listen to this together”? He agreed. Things began changing for us immediately. Things that have been hard to change, hidden things that only come up when we are angry.
Also, after I finished reading the book, during the night, I felt a drudgery in awakening every morning knowing I must pick up the cross and follow on that narrow path. I knew I shouldn’t feel that way and began to cry out to God.
He said to me,”When I was beaten and humiliated, Simon was forced to carry the cross for me, do you not think I will do the same for you. When it’s too much for you to bear, I will be your escape. I will carry it for you.
Thank you for your persistance in hearing from God and sharing it with the World.
It’s a miracle for us.

We received our 6 books, in New Zealand, 7 days after you posted them – Praise God. 4 copies given away, my wife and I are reading one each. There is so much ‘food’ that we can only digest a few pages at a time, then we need to pray about the content and start to live it.
A lot of the content is not new, but it is confirmation of many truths that Jesus has shown us, and in many cases a fresh way of looking at those truths – if that makes sense..?
After 38 years of following Jesus Christ, approx two thirds ‘outside the structures’ – we continue to learn and our relationship with Father and Son deepens. He is increasing as we decrease.
We are looking forward to your web discipleship teaching… and we enjoy your webinars.
Thankyou Chip..
In Christ Jesus our Lord… Roger and Maggie

Hey Chip!
I just finished my copy of “Embrace the Cross.” AWESOME! There’s just too much to digest in one read, so I will be reading the book again! All Praise & Glory to our Savior & Lord Jesus! I thank Him for you and what you’re doing at The School of Christ.
In His Love,

Chip,
I wholeheartedly agree with the others who have commented!!! This book was so amazing and so enlightening about the Cross. I have already read it twice and tell everyone about it. I need to get more copies to pass out. This is a message that everyone needs to hear and believe. Thank you for your obedience to our Lord!!
In Christ-
