Synopsis

According to John’s Gospel, during Jesus’s three years of ministry, there were disciples who turned back, drifted away, and stopped following him. The same is true for many Christians today. Why?

Christianity isn’t about following a set of rules. To be a Christian means being in a relationship with Jesus Christ, being close to the God of the universe. Why would anyone turn away from something as good as that?

The simple answer is we haven’t truly experienced Christ. We are too often professing Christ without having actually possessed him, as Billy Graham says.

First-time author Ellison S. Kelly Jr. learned the difference in his own life when he decided not just to talk about God, but actually seek God. The result was twenty-five years’ worth of rich and amazing spiritual experiences that have drawn him closer and closer into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

A collection of stories describing the experiences Kelly and his friends have had over the years, Choose to Be a Disciple: Don’t Turn Back is not a theological treatise but rather a book written for anyone who needs encouragement to start following and to keep following Christ.

Your own Christian adventure awaits. Don’t turn back.
