    What’s this book about? Getting intentional about our plan to follow Jesus doesn’t mean there’s only one way to go about it. Each Gospel, for example, was addressed to a specific community and distinctive expression of the Christian life. In this book, Morris helps us use the Gospels as four pathways for discipleship so that we can celebrate the variety of ways a faith working by love comes to life in our church. So, if you want to get intentional about your faith, get to know one another, or learn something new, join in the fun. There are lots of ways to get involved.
