"I really enjoyed this. McKnight presents a well-thought out & clear introduction to what it means to follow Jesus in this life. He touches on a great number of themes & yet doesn't lose clarity & cohesiveness throughout the book." — Brett (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is an awesome book on what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus. We have to move beyond knowing (which we're OK at) and begin doing (which we're not so good at). Knowing isn't growing, doing is! "
" A solid book on the basics of discipleship "
" A bit too basic, but good for new believers. "
" Very good. Might make a good gift for graduates. "
" What is a christian? What does following Jesus really mean? What does living in the Kingdom look like. Lots to think about. "
" Loved the simplistic message in this book on modeling our lives after Jesus' time here on earth "
" This was quite a challenging book. He says some things about the Christian life that I will have to wrestle with. Gave me a lot of food for thought. "
" Stay away unless you want social gospel, wishy-washy liberal Christianity-lite. "
" A brill look at what a kingdom lifestyle looks like as response to the gospel of grace "
" any book that I cry my way through, take notes on, and have to put down every other page just to contemplate what I've just read gets 5 stars from me. "
" I enjoyed some chapters more than others but the ones that stuck out made a huge impact on the way I understand the Kingdom of God. I would recommend it to anyone trying to understand the Kingdom more fully. "
" This would be a great book for new members/Christian group at your church. "
