Now That I’m a Christian: What It Means to Follow Jesus by C. Michael Patton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very good introduction and call to discipleship. Aside from erroneously stating that some people (infants, the “mentally unable” and those who die in their mothers’ wombs) are incapable of faith, this book is accurate, sturdy and accessible. I like the way he talks about Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, not ignoring their errors but charitably acknowledging their faith. This book is only missing more of what Ian Murray calls the Puritan hope–confidence in the success of the great commission.
