This book sets hand and footholds along the journey of life; recognizes and highlights the work of God in the life of the believer; and helps you draw closer in following Jesus.

In his first book, Ness pairs the power and teaching of sacramental living with the calling to be disciples. How does the gift of Baptism inform and shape the life of a disciple? What role does the ongoing gift of the holy meal of Communion play in the way disciples walk with Jesus. In exploring these sacraments and other elements of worship, confession, prayer, community and more, Following Jesus merges these two important elements of a life in Christ. Namely, the gifts God gives in the sacraments and our response as growing disciples. Through stories, accessible teaching, and thought provoking questions, this work will assist you in making faith tangible, practical, and applicable. You will uncover a deeper and new appreciation for some of the mysteries of the Church and discover the wonderful gift we have in a Lord who constantly pursues us.
