FOUR YEARS OF CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH . . . 200 CHURCHES . . . 80,000 PEOPLE . . . AND THE BREAKTHROUGH FINDINGS THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU DO CHURCH.
Follow Me draws on the latest research to provide unprecedented insights into what drives-and derails-spiritual growth. It addresses questions every ministry leader wrestles with:
How does spiritual growth happen?
How do we help people move toward a more intimate and committed relationship to Christ?
And it reveals the astonishingly honest responses people gave to questions about their spiritual lives.
More than anything else, what people really want is change-they want to become more like Jesus. And they're looking to the church-to you-to help them grow.
In Follow Me, you'll discover what the latest research reveals about:
- Core beliefs that promote spiritual growth
- Key sources of church dissatisfaction
- Three spiritual growth "movements"
- Catalytic church activities and personal
spiritual practices
- Ways to overcome spiritual stumbling blocks
When Jesus says, "Follow me," he calls us to a journey of faith and growth. Now you have the breakthrough insights that will help you lead your congregation with confidence, knowing that the next steps you take together really will move people closer to Christ.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVEAL AND FOLLOW ME?
Reveal presents the discovery of a spiritual continuum that identifies four segments of the spiritual journey:
- Exploring Christ
- Growing in Christ
- Close to Christ
- Christ-Centered
Picking up where Reveal leaves off, Follow Me focuses on movement-what catalyzes growth and moves people from one segment to the next on the spiritual continuum.

Excellent Resource,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Follow Me (REVEAL) (Paperback)
This short book is an easy read. I had our staff and elders read this book along with the other ones in the series. It is helpful in thinking through the quesion: How do people grow? What things are causes and what are the effects of growth. I appreciate the authors candid discussion about spiritual growth. They are upfront about their own weaknesses which demonstrates their humility. The research is thoughtful and will be thought provoking for you church, staff, or board. Depending on your situation, this book could be a game changer for you.

Real Change?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Follow Me (REVEAL) (Paperback)
"Follow Me" provides some very strong research data from Churches some of which is very helpful while others left me with questions on how the surveys were formed and what kind of biases may have been coming into play when congregants answered them (i.e. They have been taught that reading the Bible is really important, while meditation may be left out entirely leading them to answer in that way). Hawkins and Parkinson seemed to downplay the importance of community in the role of spiritual formation. Much of their "changes" were framed with the language of individuality(p.122)and a sense of the church (as an institution) being separate from the congregants themselves (p.125), rather than the two being one and the same. While there ware some helpful pieces of information within the short book I felt that overall the "changes" extrapolated from the data were not consistent with the communal life of discipleship that Christians are called to when entering into the Body of Christ.
