The basics begin at the beginning. And that is where popular author Floyd McClung starts with his book Following Jesus. This book is about the foundation on which we build our life – the ‘three big basics’:
. Love God
. Love each other
. Love the world
These three core beliefs will determine what kind of person you are, whether you will truly follow Jesus as one of His trained disciples, or whether you will just pay lip service to Him.
As Floyd states in the introduction, ‘I have written Following Jesus for those who want to learn the three big basics of discipleship. Are you willing to pay the price to be a fully devoted disciple of Jesus? What is the price you are willing pay to live, accept and truly believe these three truths? This book is written to help you see the beauty and blessing of being a fully devoted follower of Jesus, and then to inspire and encourage you to do that.’
