Getting Your Feet Dirty

On one momentous day two thousand years ago, all at once, three thousand people decided to follow Jesus.  
  
What was all that about? What were they getting themselves into? What is it like to follow Jesus--then and now?  
  
Don Everts paints a picture of following Jesus by looking at the experiences of the earliest Christians. He recounts what happened, what they believed, what they did next and what it all might mean for us today.  
  
Becoming a follower of Jesus can be as dramatic as welcoming a newborn baby. Discover here the wonder of birth and the joy of being alive in Christ.
