Overview

Follow the Way is about how the virtues of humility, gratitude, and simplicity impact prayer and a relationship with God. We learn these virtues from the life of Jesus. Like the dust Jesus kicked up stuck to the sweaty disciples as they followed close behind, our habits and practices of listening, being, and seeing stick on those following us. Humility teaches us to listen. A relationship cannot be a one-sided conversation--humility reminds us to quiet our own voice enough to recognize the voice of God in our lives. Gratitude teaches us to be present. A relationship cannot be based solely on the past or the future--we need to recognize God in the present, in ordinary moments of life. Simplicity teaches us to see. A relationship cannot have clarity without each understanding the other--we need to clear out the noise and interference in order to recognize God's will and plan for our life. Humility, gratitude, and simplicity empower us to pray intimately and experience an intimate relationship where we truly know God, not just stuff about God.

His explorations of theory, prayer, humility, and practical theology provide a host of opportunities to grow and be challenged in a deepening faith with God and transformed life with others. --Justin Marc Smith, Azusa Pacific University Lars Coburn does more than simply point to humility, gratitude, and simplicity as virtues critical to the process of truly knowing God. With a flurry of accessible and practical ideas, he leads us straight to them. Follow the Way is delightfully intelligent, thoroughly accessible, and, perhaps most of all, genuinely helpful. --David Rubio, Otter Creek Church, Brentwood, Tennessee
