The Duty of Self-Denial
A 12-lesson study of Thomas Watson’s classic, by Dave Block
Watson takes Christ’s words in Luke 9:23 and shows what it means to deny ourselves, take up the cross, and follow him. Twelve lessons lead your class from denying our reason and will all the way to denying ourselves by grace.

Watson’s text included
A free reading edition of Watson’s text means no one in your class has to buy a second book.
“Think for a moment why you were born into the world. Not merely to eat and drink, and indulge the desires of the flesh, not merely to dress up your body, and follow its lusts wherever they may lead you, not merely to work, and sleep, and laugh, and talk, and enjoy yourselves, and think of nothing but time. No! you were meant for something higher and better than this. You were placed here to train for eternity. Your body was only intended to be a house for your immortal spirit.”
