Where you are going is not as important as who you go with. Imagine that Jesus walks up to you, right now, and asks you to follow him. He doesn't tell where, and he doesn't tell you what it will entail. He just asks you to come.
Will you say yes?
In her warm conversational way, bestselling author and Proverbs 31 speaker Suzanne Eller shows how, when you say yes, you take a step away from the uncertainty, the to-do list, the worries and excuses. And you take a step toward the One who promises to delight and surprise, who will transform who you are, how you live, and how you impact the world.
So come. Walk with Jesus. Listen to his words. Step into the harder places of faith-but not alone. Learn who you are, but more so who He is to you.
The road will wind, your feet will get dusty. But you will discover the unexpected beauty of following where He leads. And that is worth everything. (copy of back cover)
I really loved this book. The insight Ms. Eller showed into the disciples' lives was incredible and personal and inspiring. I gained new insight into who they were and what they went through. I think the perspective you gain by reading Come With Me is unique and very helpful for fully understanding what Jesus did in their lives, and how He wants us to respond.
I also loved the personal stories Ms. Eller shared. They really helped put into perspective the lessons she was trying to teach. The format of Come With Me was also nice. She included Taking it Deeper sections, Scripture sections, Prayer sections, and Living as a Disciple sections. They helped to clarify and sum up the chapters for me.
Come With Me was a very inspirational, well-written, and well put together book. I truly enjoyed it, and was never bored. If you're looking for a book to draw you closer to God, and especially geared toward women, this is definitely one to check out.
