In the Footsteps of Jesus, Volume 2: Essays on the Contemporary Christian Journey

Walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ is a tremendous privilege, but a privilege with significant responsibilities and challenges. Following Jesus is a process that begins with the realization that Jesus first calls the believer to walk with him despite the trials of our contemporary society.

In the Footsteps of Jesus provides a method to follow the call of the Lord in the daily walk that all Christians are asked to make with the Lord. This volume focuses on three themes: Jesus Seeks Us, Responding to God’s Call, and Placing Our Hope and Trust in God.

Richard Gribble’s “In the Footsteps of Jesus” is a powerful and challenging call to action, a reminder that the Christian life is, ultimately, one of discipleship. The path of discipleship is often a difficult one, especially in our modern world with its busyness and distractions. But we do not walk this road alone. Using many powerful and real-life examples, Fr. Gribble reminds us that the ever-present and faithful Lord will be our companion and our strength. I would strongly recommend this inspiring book not only to individuals but to faith-sharing communities seeking to put “The New Discipleship” into action."

The content of this second of two volumes, like the first volume, will inspire believers in their daily walk with the Savior. Spending 15 minutes in Bible reading along with this companion book will help to provide spiritual guidance for the day. Thought-provoking questions at the end of each reflection will help to challenge the reader, sometimes raising deep and profound issues.

Useful for sermon illustrations, this book will also benefit individual or group study as well as personal reading and reflection.
