How can they grow a strong identity as disciples of Christ and members of his community while still caring for their Muslim families? The 'Come Follow Me' discipleship course was written specifically for new believers from a Muslim background as they start to follow Jesus the Messiah. It comes in two parts, the study guide, which is needed by learners and Advisors, and the Advisor's guide, which is available to download for free from our website come-follow-me.org, or can be ordered from the Come Follow Me online shop. Come Follow Me is based on an inductive study of 1 Peter, and participants grow through a powerful combination of self-study, regular discussion with a mentor (or in a group) and practical learning tasks. It aims for deep-level discipleship, which affects issues of belonging (e.g. to old and new communities), worldview (including fatalism, revenge, good deeds etc) and behaviour (e.g. marriage relationships, conflict resolution).

2014 “Christian Retailing’s Best” award finalist! What did Jesus really mean when he said, “Follow Me”? In this new book, David Platt, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, contends that multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ. Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain words. As a result, churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians . . . but aren’t. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion. Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Me explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found when we live for Christ. The call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose your life—and to find new life in him. This book will show you what such life actually looks like.

LEARNING TO FOLLOW JESUS will help you develop seven essential attributes of a disciple of Jesus Christ. You will learn how to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus by reading the Scripture passages, answering the questions, applying the attributes to your life, and sharing your journey with a spiritual coach.

Here he shares how to live the life Jesus desires of us, a life defined by Unbridled generosity Daring courage Rebellious joy Risky faith Relentless hope Scandalous grace Mad love Be challenged. Be encouraged. Be a 24/7 follower of Jesus. "This book will inspire you to take risks and step outside your comfort zone." --Kyle Idleman, author of Not a Fan

Christian growth is a deeply personal and spiritual choice that recognizes our unending need for Jesus not only as Savior but also as LORD over our lives. That recognition sometimes comes after losing the things that seemed to matter most and humbly acknowledging before God that we need a new life and not just a better version of the old life, which produced little of lasting value. Discipleship is not and never can be a self-improvement program, because self is actually a big part of the problem. Transforming our lives is not something we can do; because even on our best days, our sin nature opposes such transformation. As the Apostle Paul said, "For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish" (Rom. 7: 19). Our only hope for real change resides in Jesus' assurance that "what is impossible for man is possible for God." Becoming a Disciple of Jesus provides a year in Christian growth composed of fifty-two weekly lessons that develop both our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationships with others through the works of faith which God has prepared for us. Each work of faith is accomplished by our belief in the Holy Spirit's ability to transform us into instruments of God's peace and love. Over time, this truth becomes both our heart's desire and a glorious reward as we gain freedom from the negative thought patterns and behaviors that previously governed our lives. Paradoxically, admitting the things we struggled with to God unleashes His healing presence at a deep heart level. As beings created in His image, we all resemble partially completed sculptures. God, the Master Sculptor, removes our undesirable traits so we can become complete as the persons He made us to be, able to use our God-given gifts to glorify Him as shining examples of His love.
