Excellent book! Warning though, be prepared, to be convicted. If you desire to move from a believer to a disciple - stepping out of the "christian" - a calling God placed on all who believe in Him; this book is for you. The book is easy to read, leaving all of the deep theology jargon out, and giving practical steps backed up with scripture.

I read this book for a life group at my church. I have to say, I did not enjoy it. Not only did I find Dennis pompous, but I also found him to cherry pick scripture that “fit” his message (but not if you read the scripture in the context of the chapter in the Bible) or to make statements that did not align with scripture. Occasionally, he had solid points but it was hard to look past the blatant judgment (and racism, sexism, and privilege) he had for people not like him. Additionally, let’s make one thing clear, being a believer is NOT a bad thing, like Dennis suggests. Being a believer is the foundation to a life with Christ and not a “dirty word”. You are NOT less than for being a believer. I do not recommend this book if you’re trying to grow in your spirituality. I am confident there are others out there that can lift you up to grow without putting you down. That’s not Jesus’ way.

Excellent!! This is a great resource to help anyone move from a believer to a disciple. Be prepared to examine yourself openly and honestly. No matter where you’re at in your spiritual maturity, you will gain helpful insight in this book. Dennis Rouse lays it out in a relatable way.
