Following Jesus Book by Peter Roenfeldt
If you want to delve deeper into the life and ministry of Jesus, this is a great book to guide you through the gospel story.
Following Jesus is what every person influenced by Jesus Christ is challenged to do. For some, it seems to come naturally but, for others, there is a tendency to stagnation, becoming a passive believer. So how can we be real follower of Jesus?
In Following Jesus, Peter Roennfeldt uses the story of Jesus in the gospels to show the intentional journey that He took His original followers on. There were clear steps in His plan and He was patient as His disciples followed, fell back, got up and moved on again. In Following Jesus, we are invited on the journey into discipleship that Jesus led His first disciples in. That this book is insightful should not surprise us; Jesus is profound. It is also practical, as following Jesus has to happen in real life now. As we read, Jesus’ love and presence will become more real and His desire for us to be all that we can will motivate us.
Peter Roennfeldt has experienced what he writes about as a pastor, evangelist, leader, church planter, trainer, motivator, mentor, public presenter, coach in a wide varieties of cultures and contexts. Above everything else though, he is a follower of Jesus. He has modelled the discipleship process with family, friends and colleagues. Peter’s passion is for believers in Jesus to become fully mature followers who disciple others. Following Jesus will encourage us to follow the methods of Jesus as much as holding to the beliefs of Jesus.
