Summary: This book has caused me to think about my every attitude
Review: After reading this book and doing a book report for Bible College, I really think about all my attitudes and my reactions to others. I want to serve Christ in the best way He can use me. I realize now that I must be totally broken, changing the self-centered life to a Christ Centered life. I know now that I must immediately confess any sin to keep the vessel open for God to use. This Calvary road is the only way for true revival, never doing things from the flesh. Thankyou for this book.

Summary: This is simply what God has to say to us
Review: As I read the first few pages of this book, back a long while ago, I knew that what was to be spoken in it was from God. When I was 16, living in Colombia, South America, what Roy Hession here describes in words from God is what God did to me. Here in this book, God uses Hession to display his only desire and purpose-- what the entire Bible is saying. That all He wants is exactly who we are-- all our purpose, all our desire, all our life, all our worth, all our needs, all our actions, everything. And that He has the victory to take us entirely every moment of the day. He can live within us. We can know Eternal Life right here on earth. Give up all you are to Him, and know the only joy of loosing everything to be found in Everything. Read this book if you know you aren't enough, and even in all your Christianity, you are a "valley full of dry bones"-- you have missed Him.

Summary: Cliches upon cliches...
Review: At first, I was really excited by the book as one of the main points of the book was about revival. That for true revival, our hearts need to be broken so that we may be emptied to be used by God... definitely true. However, I think every other sentence was "by the blood of Jesus." Not to say that it's a bad thing in any way, but I don't think that the writer makes the best use of words and of the reader's time when he repeats a few, although true, statements dozens of times all over the book. It can be distracting and annoying... at least it was for me, but I'm sure not everyone will feel the same. Content is decent and reassuring, but the writing style and unefficiency of the use of words is brings it down considerably.

Summary: This book answers questions on how to deal with failure.
Review: Back in the 1960's, we met Roy Hession and his first wife, Revel, at a retreat where they were sharing. We had never heard honesty and openness from Christians like that before. They told how sin keeps us from that abundant life that Jesus promised and how important it was to start right where we live, in our homes, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sin that was blocking Him from filling us to overflowing. Calvary Road helped us to see how we had been exusing sin rather than calling it what it was, how we had been "stuffing it" rather than repenting. We thought that the way was to climb up, but we saw the way up is down, down to the foot of the cross. Jesus began to reveal Himself as we allowed Him to show us where we needed His light and cleansing. As we humbled ourselves before Him, He has shown us that this simple way of walking in His light and repentance and coming to the cross is the result of seeing Jesus. Jesus has transformed and is continuing to transform us into His image and our marriage gets sweeter and sweeter as we both keep our eyes on Him, putting Jesus first, serving each other out of love for Jesus. We highly recommend this book and also "We Would See Jesus", he and Revel's second book.

Summary: Worth its Weight in Gold
Review: For such a small book, this packs quite a punch. This book is for those Christians seeking a closer walk with their Lord Jesus Christ. Not for the non-Christian. Well worth any Christian's time to read and re-read this book. Your life will never quite be the same. Page for page, may very well be the very best book I've ever read.

Summary: life God's way leads to Jesus Christ and victory
Review: For the reader who wants answers to life. Do you want life man's way which leads to conflict and frustration or Gods way? Col. 3:15. This is about a life of Victory in Christ Isaiah 35 This book will help guide the reader to answers such as: What is my attitude? Am I willing to be honest and truthful with myself? Do I have the peace of God in my heart? Do I have love and concern for others? Do I want a better life? This is a pratical book with Biblical based answers to everyday life. Galatians 2:20 "No I but Christ..."

Summary: What Christian Leaders have said about Calvary Road
Review: I found these quotes about Calvary Road: "I believe that The Calvary Road is one of the most important and strategic books in the history of the church. I believe this message is as relevant as ever as we move toward the year 2000. It will take only a few hours to read, but can lead to a lifetime of victory, power and reality. It is good to read it slowly and devotionally." George Verwer, International Director, Operation Mobilisation (From his forward to The Calvary Road) "Nothing has served to refresh my spirit more in the last several years than reading and re-reading The Calvary Road. I am convinced that it will continue to touch tens of thousands of lives." Lynn Green, Director - Africa, Middle East & Europe, Youth With A Mission

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I read this book for a Bible study and all I got from it was an overwhelming sense of doubt and guilt that made me wonder if I was really a Christian after all. I got the impression that in wanting anything for myself and my life I was committing the ultimate sin. Finally I realized that everyone has a different way of worship and you can't expect everyone to conform to the same standards. I am glad if this book has helped others, but it didn't really help me.

Summary: Wow!!
Review: I was given this book as a graduation gift last year and just picked it up. I am so glad that I finally did! Mr. Hession is a very simple, easy to read writer. I have been challenged in my inner self to live what I talk. The book talks about revival. And as the author says revival is when we are walking with Jesus and at peace with out brothers and sisters in Christ! There isn't anything complicated about revival! It is when we desied that yes, Jesus is the most important thing to me! A great book! Lots of challenging stuff in it!

Summary: Powerful little book!!
Review: In this little book published by Christian Literature Crusade (CLC), Roy Hession focuses on the road a Christian must take in order for him/her to be useful to God. Brokenness, humility of heart and mind, purity, and other virtues are necessary, and at the end of the book, he speaks about his own "Calvary Road" so many years ago which prompted him to write this book.
A powerful little book with a great deal of insight for the Christian.
