Created for Commitment

by Audrey Wetherell Johnson 

I loved this book.  It is divided into four parts and is an amazing autobiography.  

God is so incredibly faithful.  

Part one tells the story of Audrey's early life, her journey away from God and then return to Him.  Part two tells the story of her time in China and as only God could arrange the timing, I was also re-reading The Normal Christian Life (by Watchman Nee - a Chinese Christian pastor) and the two together - it was AMAZING.  Part three tells of her journey to America and the birth of BSF.  And finally, part four (my absolute favorite portion) is titled "Guidelines for the Christian Life".  In this portion, she gives specific encouragement and teaching on how to truly know if you are "saved", how to  study the Bible, the importance of prayer, and the inevitability of suffering.  

As most of you who know and adore Anne Graham Lotz, you will know that this is the person who not only started Bible Study Fellowship, but also who taught Anne how to study the Bible for herself.  I have wanted to read this story for a loooooooong time and it more than exceeded all of my expectations.
