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.

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.

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.

I ordered this book from GreatBookDeals and was very pleased with their speed in delivering. It was very well packed and received no damage in transit.
