For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these powerful pages, author Vicki Burbach contrasts - as Jesus did - our selfish worldly culture with the way Christians are called to live, illuminating the essential role that sacrifice must play in every worthy human life. Not content with explaining the importance of sacrifice and singing its praises, Burbach ends each chapter with practical, down-to-earth suggestions to help readers cultivate the art of sacrifice in their lives, so that each may find a way to follow Christ as He commands us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest of all, she shows that not only is it critical that we each undertake ever more sacrifices, large and small, as we go about our daily lives but that doing so is the path to joy: great joy today and immeasurably greater joy hereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicki Burbach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622826361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622826360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophia Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Vicki Burbach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051760840959,"sku":"9781622826360","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04d7cf89-2a5f-404c-8a51-2d1f6754113a.jpg?v=1685015008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lost-art-of-sacrifice-vicki-burbach-9781622826360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
