Why does merely understanding and trying hard to follow the example of Jesus often yield little progress--and even less joy and peace?
In this foundational work of Christian formation, Klaus Issler derives insights from the life of Jesus in the Gospels to uncover the dynamics of becoming Christlike. You will discover how you can forge much deeper connections with Jesus so that his life begins to permeate your own character.

Klaus Issler (Ph.D., Michigan State) is professor of Christian education and theology in the doctoral program in educational studies at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, in La Mirada, California. He is the author of Wasting Time with God. Calvin Miller (1936-2012) was a professor at Beeson Divinity School. The beloved author of more than forty books, Miller was also well known as a poet, artist, novelist and speaker. His later works included Preaching (Baker), O Shepherd Where Art Thou? (Broadman Holman) and Conversations with Jesus (Harvest House). He summed up his rule of life in four words: "Time is a gift."
