What does other Spiritual Leaders say of the Course

The idea that Jan puts forward that Christians should stop trying to be like Jesus and spend more time with Him

“Jan Oosthuizen is a man of many talents. He is specifically called by the Lord Jesus Christ. We have known each other for a long time and we are co-workers in the vineyard of God. He became part of Harvester International Ministries about 25 years ago and like me, he comes from the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa.
The zeal that Jan shows is a special feature in his and Chantál’s lives. They are also striving in other areas of their community to alleviate the country’s problems. Their influence on the West-Coast was widely accepted and appreciated, especially among the farming community.
I can truly testify that Jan is faithful in the least and that the Lord appointed him over many more.
In the time in which we live, more and more efforts are being made to suspect, belittle and turn away Jesus as the Son of God. It happens in the media and even in churches.
The idea that Jan puts forward that Christians should stop trying to be like Jesus and spend more time with Him, in other words, in His presence, in the Holy Scriptures and among believers, is a good guide for the seeking soul who longs to find His righteousness. Dr. Roy M. Gray, who was my teacher in Miracle Valley, Arizona, said, “you become what you observe.”
The historical overview of the book covers a large part of history with a view to the existence of Christ and is an appropriate support for the book. The complete index of referral schemes gives evidence that good research has been done and much thought done, before pen was put on paper.
As Luke wrote two books to convince one man, Theophilus, of the truth about Christ, so Jan has dedicated himself to conveying the truth about His Saviour, Jesus Christ, to us. This is another proof of the existence and reality of the Son of God on earth, without whom no one can be saved. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to God except through Him. (John 14: 6).”
Dr. Andre Pelser
Founder of Harvester International Ministries en Reformational Churches.

“Besides the Bible, this book is one of the best “revelations” of Jesus’ diversity, yet His harmonious centeredness in Himself

“Besides the Bible, this book is one of the best “revelations” of Jesus’ diversity, yet His harmonious centeredness in Himself. The accurate detail in which Jan presents Jesus as an example makes Him the most desirable standard to live by. It encourages intimacy with the living Jesus, as well as a sense of ‘privilege’ to be associated with the Person who has historically made the greatest impact on the world.” 
Dr Arno van Niekerk
The Christian Consensus, Mighty Families, Visionary Leader of Time to Rise

“This is definitely not a fun-read for “lazy students”

“This is definitely not a fun-read for “lazy students”. But if it’s your heart’s desire to know Jesus better, read the book! 
The essence of the Good News is recorded in Colossians 1:27 – “Christ IN us”!  In this book, Jan focuses on the comprehensive identity and ministry of Christ, but also on the life-change that takes place when Jesus lives in us. To live radically differently as citizens of the Kingdom here and now (that is our calling), is only possible when the King comes to live His life in and through us. Only Jesus! Jesus alone!”

  • Jesus the LOGOS
    The concept of Logos is one of the most profound and multifaceted ideas in philosophy and theology, with roots in Greek thought and its eventual adoption and transformation in Christian theology.
  • The Body of Christ
    The new temple has received a new structure: it is now made of living stones (people) (1 Pet. 2: 5) and that He rounds off the structure with five gifts ~ like the five main organs of the body, which nourishes and strengthens it His Body’s ministry (Eph. 4: 11-16).
  • Jesus: Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Pastor and Evangelist
    AS the Lord had very specific specifications when building the tabernacle, or tent of meeting, so the Lord has specific precepts about how His body, church should function (Ex. 25:40; 26:30; 2 Tim. 1:13; Heb. 8:5). Of course, the most important specification is that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone (Matt. 21:42).
  • Jesus The Revolutionary
    Jesus was revolutionary! He did not add anything to the old, no He replaced the old with something much better! Too many believers still think from an Old Testament, old covenant paradigm, and try to weave the words and concepts of the New Testament and new covenant into Christ into the old. Jesus was radically NEW. He paved a whole new path, through His preaching and example, His suffering and death, and His resurrection! The origin of Christianity did not begin in Genesis, it began with Jesus, and His resurrection!
  • The Pacifism of Jesus
    Over the centuries, this difficult issue has been debated in various ways. I’m not going to pretend to be the final answer on this, but everyone should examine the Word of God and accompanying reading material themselves to gain insight and wisdom on exactly how we are going to deal with the presence of evil in our lives.
  • The Suffering of Jesus Christ
    Not being able to experience pain is life-threatening. Not feeling emotional pain makes people unscrupulous. Without pain we do not become stronger and we do not build capacity. This is beautifully illustrated in the animated film, WALL-E. In the movie, robots do everything for humanity while humans just lie in their chairs, gain weight and watch TV.
