Book Review ~ Kingdom Disciples: Heaven's Representatives On Earth by Tony Evans

Kingdom Disciples: Heaven's Representatives On Earth by Tony Evans is more than just a book on discipleship. While Tony does explain what discipleship is and personal steps toward becoming a kingdom disciple, he also covers ways that your personal example can and should influence your family, church, and community at large - as well as the ideals, values, and actions that will show the rest of the world that you are a Christ follower.

Combining personal stories with Biblical truths, Tony candidly reminds us that being a kingdom disciple is not for the faint of heart; it requires a willing sacrifice of everything that you have and are without Christ - placing to rest every aspect of our lives that are within our personal control in order to turn the load over to Jesus and truly follow Him.

While I know without a doubt that I fall epically short of the expectations laid out for a kingdom disciple, I found this book to be an enlightening read that will hopefully help influence my journey more toward God and less toward my self and other worldly constructs and values. I believe that, when read with the spirit of an openness to change, Kingdom Disciples has the potential to greatly influence and encourage Christians seeking to bring forth God's kingdom here on earth. 4/5 stars.
