Learning In Christ’s School

Summary

Christian growth is not mainly about gathering information, it is about being trained by Christ into humility, love, and obedience.

Venning presents discipleship as schooling under the gentle rule of Jesus, where doctrine shapes the heart and daily choices are brought under the Word.

Why Should We Read This Resource?

This is the kind of book that helps pastors keep their own souls in view. It calls us away from performing spirituality, and back to patient, hidden godliness in prayer, speech, family life, and relationships.

It is also a practical aid for preaching because it models careful, conscience aware application. The tone is earnest, and the counsel presses for real change without drifting into mere technique.

At points, the older Puritan style asks for slower reading. Yet the reward is substantial, and many sections can be used for personal meditation, leadership training, and discipleship of new believers.

Closing Recommendation

We recommend it as a steady, sanctifying companion for pastors who want their ministry to flow from a disciplined life with Christ.
