Publisher Description

Not a Fan has called more than 1 million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple - moving from fan to follower in their relationship with God.

How about you: Are you a fan or a follower? Go ahead, think honestly about your relationship with God . . . but don't answer too quickly. In fact, you may want to read this book before you answer at all. Not a Fan is your DTR with God - a "define the relationship" conversation to determine exactly where you stand.

You may indeed be a passionate, fully devoted follower of Jesus. Or, you may be just a fan who admires Jesus but isn't ready to let him cramp your style. Then again, maybe you're not into Jesus, period.

Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness sprinkled with humor, Idleman invites you to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for you.

Now also available - Not a Fan Updated and Expanded Edition, Spanish edition, journal, student and teen editions, small group study, daily devotional, and more.

"This is a must read. There are not enough stars to rate it. My son bought this book, he is 19, and thought so highly of it he not only had me read it but then gave it to our pastor. It is a very thought provoking book and while the material is a bit heavy, his humerous approach made it a very delightful read."

— Mary (5 out of 5 stars)

    " Kyle has a unique way to describe and differ fan from follower. Every ongoing chapter will bring you to deeper thoughts of who you really are, a real follower or just a fan pretending to be a follower. One of the most recommended books for bringing us to the path God wants us to. Thank you. "
