My Rating: ★★★★★

Publisher: Tyndale House Publishing

Release Date: June 5, 2018

Genre: Christian Discipleship

Have you ever wished you were a disciple—one of Jesus’ first followers, who walked in his footsteps and heard Him teach and watched Him heal people? Have you ever closed your Bible and sighed, thinking that your faith would be easier if you had been discipled by Jesus Himself? Unfortunately, our modern way of looking at the great commission has sidelined Jesus when it comes to our spiritual growth. However, Jesus is still personally discipling people today and is ready, willing, and able to do for you what he did for the twelve.

Discipled by Jesus is about keeping Jesus at the center of your discipleship. Jesus not only was but is the master disciple-maker. The good news is that Jesus Himself is discipling you. And He stands ready to disciple whoever you bring to Him. Jesus is alive! And for our walk with God, that makes all the difference.

Walk with Robert Gelinas as he demonstrates through the Scriptures that Jesus Himself is our pastor, our teacher, and our leader in the great commission. Jesus’ living leadership of our lives allows us to grow in grace and share our faith with joy.

My Review ♥️

Discipleship is one of those concepts that I've heard in church for years but I honestly haven't given it much though as far as application to my own life. I have always heard that we are to "go and make disciples," (Matthew 28:19-20) but in truth discipleship is really Jesus's job and not ours.

In Discipled by Jesus, Robert Gelinas explains our jobs as Christians and what should be left for Jesus to take care of. So many Christians have taken the focus off of Jesus and that right there is where the problem lies.

While I don't agree with everything that is written in this book, there were many points that gave me pause, making me stop and think about my own spiritual journey, which I greatly appreciated. The writing is down to earth and easy to understand, which is important when trying to understand Biblical principles, and there are numerous Biblical references for further personal Bible study.

I learned a lot about discipleship from Discipled by Jesus and I know you will too.
