Synopsis

Throughout this interesting and informative book, Williamson shows the difference between suffering hardships and suffering the infringement of one's rights. She says that every truly consecrated Christian must be willing to give up the right to the normal comforts of life, to physical health and safety, to the privacy of business, and to time, friends, romance, family, and home.

A Christian literature classic.
