Book Review

I have the unique privilege of hosting a group of young people in my home every Thursday night.

Each week, our small group of College & Career students hang-out, laugh, chat, drink tea and share their thoughts within the context of a Biblical study.

This fall, I’ve decided to use David Platt‘s “Follow Me: A Call To Die. A Call To Live.” as a platform for our study.

After reading the book for myself I felt it would be a great resource for young adults. Though our young people have been well accustomed to church-life, they seem to be in a really great place to develop their faith as their own.

I believed Platt’s book can help them do that!

After a bit of research, I found that there was a DVD teaching series and coinciding work books to guide us through discussion.

Both in the video sessions and the materials, Platt does an excellent job of keeping his teaching grounded in biblical truth, peppering each section with Scripture to dive into.

If you’re hearing about this book and/or material for the first time, here’s a brief description and video clip of Mr. Platt’s take on his latest work.

“You may think you are a Christian – but are you sure? Jesus’ call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life. And find new life in him.” (www.FollowMeBook.org)

In your opinion, how should Jesus’ words “follow me” change the way we live our lives and organize the church?
