The emphasis of the gospel message is faithfulness rather than correct belief. In a thorough examination of Luke's Gospel, Phil Thrailkill reveals the centrality of following Jesus in a refreshing combination of scholarly depth and readability. The reader is exposed to the pervasiveness of chiastic patterns in the Scriptures, with helpful summary insights and practical applications. I envision use of this gem for personal or group study. --Frank Decker, retired cross-cultural trainer This is not an easy book, and it's not meant to be. Thrailkill, in his methodical but accessible style, bridges the gap between scholarship and the life of the church, and reminds us that discipleship is costly. Following Jesus explores fifty-one 'thought units' in Luke's Gospel that are pregnant with insights for being a disciple of Jesus and developing disciple makers. This is a gold mine for scholars and a practical lifesaver for those making disciples of Jesus. --Darrell Whiteman, founder, Global Development
