The Jesus-Shaped Way

HOW DID JESUS MAKE DISCIPLES WHO COULD CHANGE THE WORLD? Jesus is, without doubt, one of the most extraordinary, or perhaps the most extraordinary person who has ever lived on this planet. Over the last 2000 years his single, solitary life has impacted billions of people for the better. It was not only the Truth he taught that made such an impact, but it was also the Way he lived. Amazingly, he said we would do even greater things than he did, if we would let him shape our lives and learn to follow in his footsteps. Over the centuries people focused on the Truth Jesus taught because it is such a liberating and transforming message. To preserve and pass on that revolutionary teaching, simple creeds were formulated to help us remember the most important Truths he taught. But over the centuries, somehow the Way of Jesus faded away and Christianity became more of an idea than a lifestyle. Now it is time to recover the Way of Jesus by looking more closely at just how he lived his extraordinary life. To that end, Bob Rognlien offers us a new Disciples' Creed that highlights the six most important steps in the Way of Jesus. Drawing on insights from history, archaeology, and culture, Bob takes us on a journey using the Disciples' Roadmap to visit the six places where we see Jesus living out these six most important aspects of his Way. Bob then offers us the Disciples' Tool Kit, with simple, practical tools that help us remember, apply, and pass on each of these critical steps in the Jesus-Shaped Way. If you want to learn how to live a life that looks more like Jesus and produce more of the fruit he produced, then this is the book for you!
