Follow: How to Lead Your Church into Following Jesus
Following Jesus should be practical and straightforward.
There are hundreds of books and Bible studies on following Jesus, but few are practical and proven. Jesus modeled a whole life and even told us how to follow him in his own words (the red letters found in many Bibles). In this series you will discover how to help your church follow the red letters—and Jesus himself.
