The call to follow : hearing Jesus in a culture obsessed with leadership / Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung ; foreword by Gavin Ortlund. [print]

Of leading and following -- Mistaken beliefs about followership -- A kingdom of followers -- A crisis of followership -- Glimpses of faithful following -- Still I will follow -- Soul rhythms for faithful following -- The rewards of following.

In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach readers that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing. They argue that followership requires the development of specific skills and virtues modeled and extolled throughout Scripture. They point to examples of people from the Bible and church history who focused on following in the footsteps of their Savior rather than positions of leadership among others. This helpful book seeks to dismantle the idol of leadership that's so prevalent in our culture and points us instead to the biblical concept of followership. - Biblically Centered: Contains examples of "followership" from Scripture and church history | - Mission Oriented: Explains how being a follower of Jesus Christ is a missional calling | - Community Focused: Written to encourage Christ followers, in both leadership and followership positions ~ AMAZON
