For the life of every believer, "How to Follow Jesus" takes us back to the roots of our faith, to the basics, in order to strengthen the foundations of our relationship with Him for Eternity.
This book is one of the best read on discipleship and spiritual growth. It gives a whole new paradigm on what following Jesus means. You will love how Gordon breaks it all down to being a real friend of Jesus. He started with the thought that following Jesus actually means being drawn by Him and he shares a variety of biblical insight on how to love, obedience, the Word of God, sacrifice, and service. Exhilarating times and desert seasons are a part of our journey with God and illustrated that so well through the life of Jesus. This is a book that you finish wondering whether you overdid it with underlining.
This book comes with a active Table of Contents and Jesus As A Friend bible verses.
As a young man, he was hard working , consecrated and sought the best God had for him. He served as assistant secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association in 1884-86 so efficiently that he became state secretary for the YMCA in Ohio, serving from 1886 to 1895. In this period he developed a quiet style of devotional speaking which was quite the opposite of the powerful forensics which dominated the pulpit style of that period.
An incessant and tireless itinerant, Gordon never lacked for opportunities to preach. He never called himself a preacher, preferring the title of lecturer. In a real sense he was unique. His manner of speaking, never dull, always illustrated by parabolic stories, had gripping power to hold the attention and stir the heart.
