Synopsis

Most people spend their lives as followers. Our minds are geared toward followership. Some of the first games we play are Follow the Leader and Simon Says. Think about it—as early as daycare we are taught how to walk in a straight line. Whether traveling down the road or waiting at the grocery store, there is nothing more fundamental to social interaction than following. Yet, in organizations of every context the buzz word is leadership. For Christians, however, Jesus gave a clear mandate: “Follow Me” (Matthew 4:19). Jesus talked about following more than he talked about leading. He challenged future leaders to first become good followers. The Church has been built on generations of discipleship: followers imitating other followers. In this book, the authors explore people throughout history—some leaders and some followers—whose Christian faith impacted the way they lived, worked, and served. Each chapter provides insights into the lives of real people who followed a real Savior and made a real impact. Each of these exemplars provide lessons for contemporary Christian followers to apply to their lives, their followership, and yes, even their leadership.
