This is the first book of Leonard Sweet's that I have read. I'm somewhat of a creature of habit and tend to stick to material by the same authors but I'm glad I broke out of my comfort zone.
Since becoming a Christian in 1992, it's always been important for me to 'get ahead' and 'reach down to others'.. leading them to Christ. In honesty, Jesus became my sidekick. I wasn't His disciple. I treated Him as somewhat of a santa claus, hooking up when I wanted or needed something or in times and situations of great desperation.
I Am a Follower opened my eyes to the importance of 'following' as opposed to leading. It brings clarity to the part in the Bible where Jesus asks His disciples to pick up their crosses and FOLLOW Him. This book is well written and easy to understand. I find that it would be best suited for a Pastor or another 'leader' in a church but I'm glad I read the book.
I will likely read more books by this author in the future.
Here's to letting go of the reins and following.
