This book was ok very wordy at times. I did not enjoy the writing style, at times it seemed to go on and on. Based on this book I probably would not buy another book by this author.
I have been on the path of discipleship in earnest since a retreat in 2015: Becoming an Intentional Disciple.The retreat turned my heart on fire.
But this book has given me some of the best tools to activating my discipleship. I especially loved the way Mr. Cavins gets you into evaluating where you are. Am I a fan or a follower? This is my question to myself each day for every interaction. Although much of what I am living was affirmed by reading this book; I am ready to take it to the next level! Anyone who wants to move forward needs to read this book!
Cavins is one of the best catholic(christian) teachers I have experienced. His study program Great Adventure was marvelous. This book is good, I have only read it once, but it will be used as a reference for me.
Jeff Cavins is an incredibly knowledgeable person that I learn so much from. The Activated Disciple is an easy read and contains concrete simple steps of how to become a better follower of Jesus and how to also evangelize and brings others close to Jesus. Excited to start the Activated Disciple Challenge now!
So pleased with this book. I am active in the Cursillo movement, and this book follows all the directives in Cursillo - “Make a friend, be a friend, bring that friend to Christ”. I also work with RCIA. So much valuable information and methods to help our seekers. Not to mention I ordered “When You Suffer”, Jeff’s newest book! Haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but looking forward to it! Jeff’s on it! Thanks, Jeff!
