Publisher's Synopsis
Few people would admit to following a master, but everyone has done so at one time or another. A master in Bible times was an honored instructor or rabbi. They not only imparted knowledge, but trained their followers to become all that God desired. Jesus was often referred to by enemy and friend as, "Master." Do we really understand what that means today? A disciple is one who follows a master and adjusts his/her thinking and lifestyle to match His teachings. Jesus called many to follow him. Twelve responded, and then He taught them what genuine disciples look and act like. In this book, you will learn from Jesus' teachings what He considers a true follower or disciple. You will gain insight into the Master's requirements. Everyone follows a master - even if they do not believe in God. Someone or something is granted the privilege of influencing or shaping our lives. Each person chooses. Some are shaped by celebrities and others by philosophies. We pattern our lives and even our habits after those we value most. Are you prepared to choose a new Master? He is the one who said, "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30 HCSB)
