Following Jesus: Resources

So growing up in Christ is one of your longings, but you’re not exactly sure how to get started or how to get back on track.

Start Reading.
Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety. Henri J. M. Nouwen. 2019.
Dutch-born Catholic priest, Nouwen lived the scholar’s life of teaching at Harvard and later a servant’s life to an adult with mental disabilities in Toronto’s L’Arche community. Based on a Lenten lecture series, Nouwen encourages us to become peaceful, joyful people who rediscover how to love as Jesus does.

Go Deeper.
A Shelter in the Time of Storm. Paul David Tripp. 2015. 52 meditations on Psalm 27, a psalm of trouble and worship. Start meditating on scripture. Fill your mind with God’s truth and grace.

Pray More.
Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God. Timothy Keller. 2014.
Become a person who prays. Your prayers will become more personal and powerful as you practice. Because Keller carried the weight of church leadership and faced the personal trial of cancer, he is an experienced guide in practicing prayer.

Get Grounded.
Register for a 6 week foundational theology course at Crestview, starting October 11 - November 15, 2020 at Crestview. Participants receive a copy of Christian Beliefs: Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know by Wayne Grudem. 2005.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect Romans 12:2
