Book Review of not a fan by Kyle Idleman


Kyle Idleman has written a book with a terrific concept. In his book he challenges people to answer the question: Are you simply a fan of Jesus, or are you a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ?

The first section of NOT A FAN presents the reader with several diagnostic questions to challenge the heart of someone trying to discern if they are a "fan" or a follower. These questions are very pointed, helpful, and will be convicting to many who use these questions as they were intended.

The second section lays out the case for Jesus wanting disciples and instead of fans. Each chapter focuses on a key quote from Jesus that encourages the reader to go deeper in their understanding of what it means to be a true follower of Him and his Word.

The third section offers an inspirational invitation for radical discipleship.

NOT A FAN is written with passion and energy. A great book for someone who feels like they need a little inspiration in their faith.
