Millions of people want to follow Jesus but don't know how. Upon becoming Christians, new believers often find themselves paralyzed. They become:
- Overwhelmed by the challenge of mastering complicated doctrines.
- Frustrated by a long list of rules for policing their lives.
- Bewildered by a new (and strange) vocabulary.
Even worse, there are few books offering simple and clear advice to guide a Christian's first spiritual steps, written in common, contemporary language. Until now.
In How to Follow Jesus, Craig Springer, executive director of Alpha USA—one of America's most effective evangelism movements—breaks down numerous myths surrounding the Christian faith that create unnecessary obstacles to growth. These include:
- Showing that sin and temptation are not the greatest threat to a flourishing faith.
- Explaining how forgiveness means going through, rather than around, our feelings.
- Revealing why disappointment in the church may be an essential step in building life-changing community.
Through personal stories from his own journey to a mature faith, Springer puts readers at ease and provides practical, easy-to-implement advice for following Jesus.
Destined to become a timeless classic, How to Follow Jesus is a must-read for both new and returning Christians.
