"God wants me to try harder." "God blesses me when I'm good and punishes me when I'm bad." "God is angry with me." / We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true--but many are false. James Bryan Smith believes those thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live. In fact, Smith declares, the most important thing about a person is what they think about God. The path to spiritual transformation begins here. / Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. Once you've discovered the truth in Scripture, Smith leads you through a process of spiritual formation that includes specific activities aimed at making these new narratives real in your body and soul as well as your mind. / At the end of each chapter you'll find an opportunity for soul training, engaging in spiritual practices that reinforce the biblical messages on your mind and heart. Because the best way to make a complete and lasting change is to go through the material in community, small group discussion questions also accompany each chapter. Those who are leading apprentice groups will also find additional help and opportunities to interact with other leaders at the Apprentice website. / This deep, loving and transformative book will help you discover the narratives that Jesus lived by--to know the Lord he knew and the kingdom he proclaimed--and to practice spiritual exercises that will help you grow in the knowledge of our good and beautiful God.

Well written, helpful and inspiring

Really lovely book that encourages you to think outside the box and go back to the basics in regard to God’s love, grace and care for us. Use this as part of a training and enjoy the small group discussions that came out of it.

Excellent resource for Spiritual Direction and Discipleship

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a resource I am using and recommending to others. It is inspiring to read personally and even more valuable in a group process where discipleship is an intentional focus of the group. The sub-title indicates the tone and direction - encouraging those who follow Jesus to "fall in love with the God Jesus knows". Too many times Christians are seen to be judgemental and almost hateful of those who are distant from the Church - the intent of this book is to see every follower of Jesus become someone who looks like Jesus, lives like Jesus and loves like Jesus. That is something I need; for my soul and for the development of Christian character which becomes a true testimony of a loving God.

Counter cultural, beautifully simplified.

With wrong narratives, and a busy life, I saw more and more stress and frustration. I had no idea why I wanted more but kept working towards it.
This book in a few hours was so simple in its statements that it made me realize the false narratives were putting a wall between myself, my God and my Family.

We used this book in a small group. Not everyone agreed on the content of the book, but it led all of us to very deep, sincere and practical places. Throw away old stereotypes about God. Embrace the God that Jesus knew. Grow deeply in that love.

I like the fact that it talks about spending time with God more and slowing down in a hurry based world. I like the fact that it talks about appreciating life. I recommend this to anyone who wants to live a more God like life.

It's transformational thinking in a time and world that can easily confuse the world's philosophy with Christ's. (Steve Boctor, Pastor & Author "ABC's of Parenting: 26 Practical lessons for Building a Healthy and Happy Home)

God as Jesus really taught

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a really good book. The "theory" bit is working on getting us to see God as Jesus actually taught and to see God as loving but holy. And then there are the "practical" bits at the end of each chapter, requiring us to do something. Really good read, and even better if you have a friend to discuss the book with as you read it.

This is a great book .... Easy to read but provocatively written, encouraging reflection and action. There are suggested activities in relation to each chapter which are helpful applications of the content.
