The Disciples of Jesus

Have you ever wondered what brought about the radical transformation of Jesus's followers? The Disciples of Jesus is a portrait gallery of a bunch of unschooled, fickle, ordinary men and women turned into loyal, courageous, and committed disciples through the Master's compassion, tough love, and later presence through the Holy Spirit. With theological finesse, Dean Blevins brings us face-to-face with "action heroes, born skeptics, servant leaders," and the like. Despite their frailties, failures, and fears, the Master uniquely fine-tuned them for kingdom purposes, commissioning them to be his ambassadors in the power of the Holy Spirit. This compelling study, unveiling a set of ordinary character types and their relationships, is inviting you to imagine what God can accomplish through you.
