Publisher Description
Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. The Imperfect Disciple is for the rest of us--people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking.
For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship book that isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows readers how the gospel works in them and in their lives when
- they can't get their act together
- they think God is giving them the silent treatment
- they think church would be better without all the people
- they're not happy with the person in the mirror
- and much more
Wilson frees readers from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples.
Customer Reviews
Found here: Freedom and Rest
Freedom from the oppressive bondage of inadvertently imposed legalism. Rest from striving against the flesh with the vanity of self-improvement strategies, and the road to true rest in the glorious Person and work of Christ who gave Himself for the worst of us. Jared's wit, humor, and transparency help guide us to a path of freedom and rest in this excellent work. A work like this isn't read, it's received in the soul like the refreshing water the deer pants for in the Psalm. Life transforming.
One of my favorites
Imperfect Disciple is one of the most honest and vulnerable books about the Christian life that I have ever read. If you want to read a book about what it really means to be a disciple/follower of Christ, I would highly recommend this book to be at the top of your list.
