Description
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. Jesus doesn’t expect people to be perfect. He just wants them to follow him. Being a sinner doesn’t disqualify anyone. Being an unbeliever doesn’t disqualify anyone. In fact, following almost always begins with a sinner and unbeliever taking one small step.
In this eight-session video-based Bible study, Andy Stanley takes you on a journey through the Gospels as he traces Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow. This video can be used for personal reflection or for group discussion with the accompanying participant’s guide (sold separately).

This series is awesome and the study is one of the best I’ve ever led. The questions are great….they are designed to promote interaction and responses from your group. The video is just right–long enough to get the point across but not too long to put anyone to sleep (especially important if doing an evening study). Andy’s style is energetic, comfortable, transparent and engaging mixed in with humor. Andy Stanley really turns upside down the traditional thinking of what it means to follow Jesus. This study not only challenges our thinking but opens our eyes to the exciting journey of truly following Christ. This study is great for anyone whether skeptics, new believers or long-time Christ followers.

We have used two of Andy Stanley’s Bible studies previous to this one and have found all of them to be very enlightening and extremely thought provoking.

My small group loves Andy Stanley.

Group loves this program. Clear, concise, and down to earth language makes following Jesus something that can be done. This is the second study we have done with Andy, looking forward to a third.

We used this Bible study workbook along with the videos (of Pastor Andy Stanley) in our local women’s Bible study group that meets in a little log cabin church that was built for pioneers in our community many long years ago. It is still in use today, and is such a blessing for those of us here in the boonies who love Jesus and want to study Christian topics together.
This book is about following Jesus. He told His disciples, “Follow me.” He didn’t say “Be perfect first and then follow Me,” but instead welcomed imperfect sinners and worked in their hearts to transform them by the power of the Holy Spirit.
