Book excerpt: Believers who long to know God more intimately face a challenge: Are they willing to pray to be like Jesus? To bend their knees in self-abandonment and ask God to do whatever it takes to make them more and more like Jesus? In Make Me Like Jesus, Michael Phillips guides readers through the key decisions in Jesus' life, illustrating in simple yet profound terms what it means to be like Jesus. Drawing both from the Bible and from turning points in his own life, he shares the importance of learning to pray: -- The Prayer of Christlikeness: "Make me like Jesus." -- The Prayer of Childship: "Father, what would you have me do?" -- The Prayer of Relinquishment: "Not my will, but yours be done." -- The Prayer of Death: "My God, My God...why?" -- The Prayer of Life: "That they may be one as we are one." -- The Prayer of Joy: "That they might have my joy fulfilled in them." As readers grab hold of the true life of abiding in Jesus, they will find the prayer of Christlikeness quietly being answered in their lives.
