APPRENTICE
Walking the way of Christ
By Steve Chalke with Joanna Wyld. Zondervan. 208 pages. £7.49
ISBN 978-0-31029-154-2
Not to be confused with the popular BBC1 programme, Steve Chalke presents Apprentice in which he seeks to ‘call us into a deep experience of learning and relationship with Christ’. The goal is commendable. Indeed, the testimonials on the first page rank Apprentice among the best Christian literature of the day. However, by reading just a few pages into the book, the discerning believer will be disappointed.
Apprentice has ten chapters. Each is easy to read and contains much illustration. The book is littered with quotations, most of which are from secular sources. Comments from Roman Catholic writers are cited with approval. Scripture references are relatively sparse.
