Follow Me [Hardcover]

John MacArthur (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 21, 2004

From best-selling author John MacArthur, Follow Me reiterates the call of Jesus, offers insight into ways people respond to it, and encourages readers not just to follow, but to follow through. Women followed Jesus to learn His teaching and to support His ministry. The sick followed Jesus to receive divine healing. The rejects followed Jesus to receive God's acceptance. The disillusioned followed Jesus to receive His hope. All those reasons-and many more-still hold true today. This broad-scoped study of Jesus' followers gives bite-sized portions of insight for followers of today and provides them with the tools necessary to continue heeding the call to follow Him.

3.0 out of 5 stars For the "new" or "potential" Christian, December 10, 2007

This review is from: Follow Me (Hardcover)

This is a nice quick reading book (about 100 pages). This is a book for the "new" Christian or the "potential" Christian. The book is divided into 6 sections:

1. Who can be a disciple?
2. Types of disciples
3. Those who failed to follow
4. The cost of following
5. Promises to followers
6. Reflections on following Christ.

The bulk of the book examines the types of disciples. Each type of disciple is described by a biblical character. The book briefly describes the personalities of people like, Peter, James, John, Mary, Simon and others to demonstrate how God uses different people to advance His kingdom.

One of the things that jumped out at me was the brief section on how to confront false teachers. Most people have had members of a cult knock on their door and want to tell you about their religion. MacArthur recommends to simply tell them you are not interested in hearing what they have to say and to let them know what Jesus said about people who teach false doctrines. You also should let them know that you would be happy to share the truth with them, but are not interested in their lies. (page 63).

Overall, I would recommend this book for the "new" or "potential" Christian.

This review is from: Follow Me (Hardcover)

Follow Me is a great book to use as an introduction to exploring the disciples of Christ. It's easy reading so that those who are new to the faith as well as young adults will understand. It explores the differences in character of each disciple, as well as how each played an important part in spreading Christianity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quickie book on the call of Christ, February 10, 2005

This book isn't bad for what it is - a sermon series converted to print and matched with a lot of pretty pictures. A decent gift book, I guess, but without the depth I've come to expect from John MacArthur.
