关于此有声读物

Following Christ, says John White, is not cheap. The cost is substantial. But the benefits, rewards and joys that come with our commitment to him are well worth the sacrifices that must be made to answer the call to Christ. Take up your cross, and follow Jesus in the only life worth living.
