A Student in the School of Christ

Book excerpt: I am extremely happy to see the completion of this book- A Student in the School of Christ – by Wasihun Senbeta Gutema, a former student of mine and a colleague in the harvest field of Christ. Wasihun has presented a unique, simple, understandable piece on being a true student of Christ. The book challenges each of us- preachers, teachers and the followers of Christ- in our state of where we are in our studentship/discipleship process and if we are of course true students that do not quit. The simplicity of the book makes it readable by anyone who aspires to be the true student of Christ. It is at most worth reading! —Bulti Fayissa, pastor and professor of New Testament To embark on writing a book is a courageous beginning, and to finish it is a great accomplishment, especially in a context where writing and reading are rarely part of the culture. By publishing this book, Wasihun Senbeta Gutema has set a good example for many teachers and preachers, as well as other potential writers if we are to effectively share our knowledge with the present generation and preserve a repertoire of lessons for the future generations. I applaud Wasihun for providing A Student in the School of Christ – a revised and coherent compilation of his teachings in the form of a book. The book is a reflection of an experienced, yet aspiring, gospel teacher who has not ceased being a disciple – A Student in the School of Christ. As it describes what it means to be “a student of Christ”, it discerns wrong assumptions about the same. The book is written in a simple-to-follow and understandable style. It is worth reading. —Gutu Olana Wayessa, PhD
