FOLLOW ME.
These two words echo the heart-defining call of our Lord Jesus Christ tohis disciples.
Sadly, this life-changing invitation has lost much of its original meaning.Immersed in a society that worships success, we have succumbed to a trendy
fixation with leadership. In I Am a Follower, author Leonard Sweet explainshow Christians in a twenty-first-century corporate-obsessed culture haveshifted away from a Jesus art of following toward a popularized form of leading.
Through a colorful mlange of practical applications, imaginative metaphors,and probing biblical exposition based in gospel truth, Sweet reveals that thesummons of Jesus and the message of the New Testament point clearly to anemphasis not on imitation but on incarnation, not on leading but on following.
Join Sweet on an exciting and intentional journey from leadership cult tofollowership culture. Discover for yourself the way, the truth, and the abundant
life of following Jesus Christ and what it truly means to Follow Me!
At times I felt like I was reading Jeremiah, challenging the shepherdsof Israel. This is a much needed and long overdue book.
