"Follow Me"

Synopsis: The world has been completely thrown on its head. A nobody from Nazareth, who was brutally executed by the Roman Empire, has conquered all the empires of mankind and brought freedom to all its slaves. A world of ecosystems and communities of life headed towards death is being rescued. You are being called to follow in this movement, sacrificing everything that you have and are. Will you flee or will you follow? Endorsements: "In an invitingly simple question-and-answer format, "Follow Me" leads readers by the hand through the complex symbols of Mark's radical story of discipleship. Readers overwhelmed by the prospect of grappling with a full-length commentary will find this user-friendly introduction a solid way of entering into Mark's story of Jesus and discovering anew the cost and rewards of following the Way." --Wes Howard-Brook, Seattle University "I too have found it a challenge to recommend a short book that simply but clearly introduces a radical and compelling gospel faith. Luke Kammrath provides here an accessible companion to Mark's story of Jesus--which is still the best 'short catechism.' I appreciate Kammrath's FAQ-style approach, which anticipates a new reader's conundrums and offers key perspectives, yet refrains from the commentator's temptation to offer a parallel narrative about what the text means. In the age of Facebook, this is a great evangelistic resource." --Ched Myers, Bartimaeus Cooperative Ministries Author Biography: Luke Kammrath is a disciple of Jesus, gardener, and pastor. He follows Jesus with his intentional Christian community in Kansas City as they share all their resources, read the gospels, pray and eat together, walk with one another through the ups and downs of life, house those experiencing homelessness, and rely on their heavenly father for all things.
