The Follower

Living the Jesus Way

Following is the plain, daily part of discipleship. This book asks what it actually looks like.

The art of following Jesus daily is learning to live life to the full. The author takes us on a journey through Matthew’s Gospel to help us understand how to do it. Letting Jesus be the lead makes sense of who we are and of our place in a chaotic world. He transforms us into the agents of change and hope he’s called us to be. This book will show you how to be a follower and give you a fresh love for the Bible.

Following is a basic part of being a disciple, and one of the least discussed. James looks at what it means to be a follower in this day and age, based on Matthew’s Gospel and the one who does the calling.

Who it is for

  • Readers who want to move past ideas about faith and into the practice of it.
  • Younger followers of Jesus looking for something honest rather than triumphant.
  • Anyone who would like to read Matthew properly and has never quite got round to it.
