The Rich Young Ruler Made Simple

The Rich Young Ruler -- he had everything but the one thing: Christ's loving invitation, the sorrow of divided loyalty, and the camel through the needle's eye (Mark 10:17-27).

The Rich Young Ruler Made Simple is a Bible-first walk through Mark 10:17-27: the running man and his greatest question, the "Good Master" and the goodness of God alone, the commandments kept and the idol unseen, the look of love before the hard word, the one thing lacking, the call to sell and give, the sorrowful departure, the hardness of riches, the camel and the needle, and the gospel in a sentence -- with men it is impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are possible.

Explicitly Trinitarian: God the Father who alone is good and to whom every prayer is directed; Jesus Christ -- Son of God and Son of Man, Lord and Savior -- who beheld the ruler and loved him; and the Holy Spirit, who alone transfers our trust from riches to God and does in us what willpower never can. Every prayer is to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.

Read one chapter a day. Come honest. Read slowly. And when the Lord names your one thing, do not walk away grieved -- stay, and let Him make you free.
