The best book I've read for new and renewed followers of Jesus

Thabiti Anyabwile said Stephen Smallman’s "The Walk: Steps for New and Renewed Followers of Jesus" is "the best book I've read for new and renewed followers of Jesus." With high praise like that, it's certainly worth a look.

Here are seven reasons he found the book helpful:

1. It’s clear.


2. It’s gospel-centered, gospel-driven, gospel-motivated–choose your favorite “gospel + adjective” combination.


3. It’s clear about conversion.


4. It’s focused on discipleship.


5. It emphasizes the importance of the local church.


6. The Walk also keeps the reader in the Bible.


7. The Walk introduces people to history and biography.
