APPRENTICE TO JESUS

Does my life look like that of Jesus, and if not, how do I get there? These two powerful questions set the tone for everything you are about to read from Cris and members of his church at All Hallows, Bow, in East London. The book is insightfully built round the idea that followers of Jesus should consider themselves as enrolled apprentices learning the ways of Jesus. Each reflection is rooted in Scripture and as you engage in the reflective exercises, answer questions and wrestle with God in prayer, the aim is that you will experience the Spirit's work in a new way. Do your strengths lie in your hands, in contributing, creating and leading? In your heart in loving, appreciating and belonging? In your head in knowing, thinking and understanding? Though our individual passions and strengths vary, Jesus invites each of us to grow in all areas of discipleship. The 40 daily readings which include Bible passages, reflections, exercises and prayer will help you step-by-step towards becoming more like Jesus. Day 8 is entitled Soul Food. Day 14 Satnavs and Road Maps. Day 18 Rock Bottom. Day 20 Standing on the Shoulders of Jesus. Day 24 A Bigger World. Day 37 Representing Jesus. An SPCK paperback, 168pp. Line art.
