<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Pastor and author Jared C. Wilson demystifies discipleship, helping readers go beyond the expected Sunday school responses to the realities of following Jesus in their unpredictable lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Too many discipleship books are written for clean, perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. <i>The Imperfect Disciple </i>is for the rest of us--people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking.<br/><br/>For the believer who is tired of quasi-spiritual lifehacks being passed off as true, down-and-dirty discipleship, here is a discipleship book that isn't afraid to be honest about the mess we call real life. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows readers how the gospel works in them and in their lives when<br/><br/>- they can't get their act together<br/>- they think God is giving them the silent treatment<br/>- they think church would be better without all the people<br/>- they're not happy with the person in the mirror<br/>- and much more<br/><br/>Wilson frees readers from the self-doubt and even the misplaced self-confidence they may feel as they walk with Jesus down the often difficult road of life. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and goes forth to make more imperfect disciples.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Too many discipleship books are written for perfect people who know all the right Sunday school answers. <br/><br/><b>This book</b><b><i> </i></b><b>is for the rest of us</b>--people who screw up, people who are weary, people who are wondering if it's safe to say what they're really thinking. With incisive wit, warm humor, and moving stories, Jared Wilson shows us how the gospel actually works through us and <i>in</i> us, even when we can't get our act together. The result is a faith that weathers storms, lifts burdens, and deepens our friendship with God.<br/><br/><br/>"Few things steal vitality and life in Christ like forgetting that we are human. Jared does a great job, with his humorous yet serious style, reminding us of God's perfection in the midst of our inconsistencies, fears, and falls. The grace of God found in this book will encourage and remind the saint that there is only One who is perfect--and that perfection is enough for all who believe on the name of Jesus."--<b>Matt Chandler</b>, lead teaching pastor of The Village Church<br/><br/>"Jared ties everything he has to say about being and loving disciples to the realities of what Jesus has already done. And that, dear friends, is what sets this wonderful book apart from all the others."--<b>Elyse M. Fitzpatrick</b>, counselor and speaker; author of <i>Because He Loves Me<br/></i><br/>"Wilson takes our idea of discipleship--you know, the list of things we need to do to be a perfectly obedient Christian--and turns it on its head. Discipleship is not about our to-do lists; it's about the glorious gospel. Wilson helps us refocus so that our obedience is no longer about us."--<b>Trillia Newbell</b>, author of <i>Enjoy</i>, <i>Fear and Faith</i>, and <i>United<br/></i><br/><br/><b>Jared C.
