On one momentous day two thousand years ago, all at once, three thousand people decided to follow Jesus.
What was all that about? What were they getting themselves into? What is it like to follow Jesus—then and now?
Don Everts paints a picture of following Jesus by looking at the experiences of the earliest Christians. He recounts what happened, what they believed, what they did next and what it all might mean for you.
Becoming a follower of Jesus can be as dramatic as welcoming a newborn baby. Discover here the wonder of birth and the joy of being alive in Christ.
In simple, basic language, author Don Everts offers important insights into truths that caused 3,000 people to become Christ followers after one sermon. Getting Your Feet Dirty is a great book to study with non-Christian friends who have their own questions about what it means to be a Christian.
"Everts' message . . . is an important one at a time when Christians are often viewed as living untransformed lives. Targeting primarily new Christians as well as seekers, Everts' clear focus, accessible style, and openness to questions make this a useful guide for individuals embarking on the journey of following Jesus."
