UNDERSTANDING the CALL of DISCIPLESHIP (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662888977)

Jesus said to "go and make Disciples." He did not say to make converts. Being a Disciple is what the Christian life is all about. Following Jesus is so much more than praying, reading the Bible and going to church. It is about partnering with the all powerful Creator of the universe who knows everything about you, loves you and desires greatly to have a personal relationship with you. This first book in the series on "understanding the call of Discipleship" is written as a guide to assist you as you walk this journey. It clarifies some of the obscure topics the Bible talks about while going into depth on hard subject matters as well. This book will bring new insight into your faith. From the very first day that Philip met Jesus back in 1974, Discipleship burned in his heart. Always having the desire to go deeper into "all things Jesus" this passionate desire was taken to another level when he was challenged by Jesus to lay down everything in the faith that he was taught and/or believed and allow Jesus to sift through it. He responded to the Lord by saying...I can do that.This deeper journey began in 2004 when the Holy Spirit invaded Philip's prayer closet and would speak to him as quickly as he could write. This went on for a few years and books began to be created. Eighteen years after receiving God's promise that He alone would finance the journey, this first book is being published. Philip lives in eastern Tennessee where he resides with Rose, his amazing wife.
