Do you want your life to count for Christ? Would you like to make a real impact for Gods kingdom in this world? You can -- and you dont have to be a great leader for it to happen. Just a good follower. In Following Christ, Joseph Stowell shows why Christs command to ``Follow me`` isnt merely the starting point of Christianity. Its the very heartbeat of vibrant, effective faith. And its not just for a few gifted leaders, but for all believers. Stowell shows you what happens when an ordinary man or woman pursues not the trappings of Christianity, but Christ himself. Youll discover - What a ``non-negotiated follower`` looks like - Why God does his best work through followers - Why self-directed living is a recipe for emptiness - What makes Christ so worth following - What it means to pick up your cross - Why a close walk with Jesus is the key to effective living -- Following Christ paints a compelling portrait of Christianity the way God intended it, marked by simplicity, vigorous faith, purpose and direction, soul-winning impact on others . . . and above all, a joyous, growing closeness with Christ.
