Real Discipleship: How to Follow Jesus His Way--Not Ours by Jeffrey Kirby
Discipleship?? Isn't that a Protestant thing? If you think that, you're not alone. The concept of Christian discipleship gets stressed so much in Evangelical culture that many Catholics assume that-like "altar calls" or the "Rapture"-it's not their concern. Or maybe you're more familiar with a form of "discipleship" that stresses personal fulfillment, moral and doctrinal flexibility, and an individualist gospel that measures success by worldly standards. This idea has roots in Protestant "health & wealth" preaching, but you can find it in Catholic churches, too. Both of those notions are dead wrong, says Fr. Jeffrey Kirby. In his new book Real Discipleship, the author of the bestselling Real Religion says that discipleship should be the central concern of every Catholic-and that far from being all about us and our earthly needs, true discipleship is about following Jesus diligently on the path to the Cross. The temptations to false discipleship are all around us, but Fr. Kirby helps you navigate the straight road by distinguishing truth from falsehood in four areas: the person of Jesus, the example and teachings of his gospel, the way of living to which that gospel calls us, and the summit of that way of life in true eucharistic worship. A lively mix of personal stories, theology, history, Bible study, common sense, and prayerful meditation, Real Discipleship will be a valuable companion on your own journey along Christ's path-all the way to Calvary and to eternal glory.| SKU | Unavailable |
