Publisher's Synopsis
Walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ is a tremendous privilege, but a privilege with significant responsibilities and challenges. Following Jesus is a process that begins with the realization that Jesus first calls the believer to walk with him despite the trials of our contemporary society.
In the Footsteps of Jesus provides a method to follow the call of the Lord in the daily walk that all Christians are asked to make with the Lord. This volume focuses on three themes: Jesus Seeks Us, Responding to God's Call, and Placing Our Hope and Trust in God.
Richard Gribble's "In the Footsteps of Jesus" is a powerful and challenging call to action, a reminder that the Christian life is, ultimately, one of discipleship. The path of discipleship is often a difficult one, especially in our modern world with its busyness and distractions. But we do not walk this road alone. Using many powerful and real-life examples, Fr. Gribble reminds us that the ever-present and faithful Lord will be our companion and our strength. I would strongly recommend this inspiring book not only to individuals but to faith-sharing communities seeking to put "The New Discipleship" into action."
Fr. Joseph Mazzone, Archdiocese of Boston
