A Genuine Faith

Learn how to walk as a genuine disciple of Jesus and follow him according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John How can we be disciples of someone who lived 2,000 years ago? There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Each of the Gospel accounts offer different pictures of following Jesus. Matthew writes a training manual for making disciples. Mark uses analogies to illustrate sowing the seed of the gospel. Luke emphasizes living generously as if the kingdom of God has already come. John shows us what an ideal disciple looks like. Though different from each other, each path can show you the way to be a disciple. A Genuine Faith will guide you to an authentic, personal understanding of the road to discipleship-helping you discover what it means to follow Jesus today. "Reeves skillfully uses narratives to show real examples of those who learned to choose the narrow road by becoming true disciples of Christ. The application of these narratives to modern-day discipleship is evident as we discover the calculated risk Christ took in planting such valuable seed in the soil of fallible men."-Governor Mike Huckabee (R-Arkansas) "Rodney has the ability to make the complex understandable. He causes us to smile, wince, and be impacted by the truth."-Rex Horne, senior pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas Rodney Reeves (Ph.D., Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) is dean and professor of biblical studies at the Courts Redford College of Theology and Church Vocations, Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri.
