Christians frequently hear that they are supposed to "follow Jesus"--but most are baffled by how to do so in a culture so different from the one in which Jesus lived. Rodney Reeves takes readers back to the original source of all discipleship teaching, the four Gospel accounts, to discover how each Gospel writer presents following Jesus differently--from Matthew's training manual for making disciples to John's stories of model disciples. Each approach, Reeves shows, can be incorporated into modern life as a way to follow Jesus. Reeves's fresh, holistic, and scripturally based approach to discipleship will appeal to readers hungry for authentic discipleship material, especially those sensitive to the postmodern mind-set. The book will appeal to individuals looking for a spiritual growth resource and pastors and teachers in search of discipleship material for sermons, new believers classes, small groups, and adult Sunday school or discipleship classes.
