A Call to the Narrow Way and the Crucified Life

There is a road few will walk. It is narrow, rugged, and marked with a cross. Yet it is the only road that leads to life. In these pages, Steve Porter issues a burning holy call—a call to leave behind shallow religion, empty applause, and the compromise of the crowd. With the warmth of a spiritual father and the fire of a watchman, he weaves together stories of saints like John Wright Follette, Hattie Hammond, Wade Taylor, and others who lived surrendered, along with the timeless warnings of Samson, Lot, and the unprepared virgins. This is not a book of easy words. It is not for those content with a safe Christianity. It is for the hungry. For the broken. For those who long to know Christ in the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. You will discover here: • Why crucifying the flesh is the only pathway to real authority and joy. • How grace empowers your "yes" when everything in you wants to shout "no." • The hidden glory of a life lived far from compromise and close to the Bridegroom's heart. • The eternal rewards that make every tear and every surrender worth it all. Beloved, the Spirit is calling His Bride to purity, holiness, and fire in these final hours. Not a people who flirt with the edge, but a people who shine with His light. Not perfect people—but forgiven, transformed, yielded vessels. This is your invitation. Step off the broad road. Embrace the narrow way. Die daily. Rise fully. And walk in the burning love of the One who is coming soon for His spotless Bride.
