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!
I previously did an online study of James, which featured Jeff Cavins. Was very impressed with his teaching and way of speaking, so I was immensely looking forward to reading The Activated Disciple. Was not disappointed. This was everything that was expected and more. Learning about and loving the Lord is an ongoing process, and Jeff has greatly helped in that regard. I am taking my faith to the next level and this book is a big part of it. The Activated Disciple is something that, like the Bible, should be kept near at all times.
I am reading a chapter of the Activated Disciple every other day and a chapter of Leviticus daily. I am pacing myself in order to digest from each book lessons to live by. Jeff is serving as my rabbi and I a talmidim. I am open to the journey before me. I know it is just the beginning but I feel I have come a long way in just a week toward my own discipleship.
The book for the most part was good. I did gain a few new insights but expected more from it. With that said I would still recommend it.
This was very inspiring. So inspiring inf fact that I am working on the activated disciple challenge now!
Read this in two sessions. Literally couldn't out it down except to refill my coffee cup! Made a lot of notes and highlighted many passages to use for later reference. Awaiting the 40 day challenge. The book validated much of what I already do and gave me some ideas on new ways to grow closer to Jesus, which was my focus all along! Thank you Mr. Cavins for a great book and rich instruction! Highly recommend this book!
WoW! Best read ever. Picked up the book and read it in two sessions. So much information in such a little book. More information in this book than in much bigger books that I have read. To the point and easy to read. Highly recommend to everyone that wants to follow in Christ's footsteps.
Cannot wait to get to the challenge. The book was eye-opening. It really fired up the yearning to learn more and become a disciple.
