Follow Bible Study Participant's Guide - by Andy Stanley (Paperback)

About the Book

For many, the Christian life feels like a long game of "Jesus Says" Jesus says pray; Jesus says give; Jesus says go to church. In Follow, an eight-session DVD Bible study, pastor and bestselling author Andy Stanley helps you discover that Jesus' invitation is an invitation to relationship. It begins with a simple request - follow me.

Book Synopsis

No matter what you believe, no matter how you behave, Jesus invites you to follow him.

Lots of people think Christianity is all about doing what Jesus says. But what if doing what Jesus says isn't what Jesus says to do at all? Jesus' invitation is an invitation to relationship, and it begins with a simple request: follow me.

Religion says, "Change and you can join us." Jesus says, "Join us and you will change." There's a huge difference. Being a sinner doesn't disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify anyone. In fact, following Jesus almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.

In this eight-session video-based Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), pastor and best-selling author Andy Stanley takes small groups on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus' teaching on what it means to follow.

1. Jesus Says
