Jesse Hamilton

What does it mean to be a Christian? Answers to this question in both the secular world and the church have often been anything but clear. In this book, Jesse Hamilton seeks to provide a simple, clear, and honest answer to the question of what it really means to be a Christian. Intended for both believers and unbelievers alike, How to Be a Christian considers the full range of the New Testament evidence and presents the Christian life as Jesus and his apostles both taught and lived it. At the heart of this message lies a call to an all-out commitment to the teaching and mission of Jesus that both the world and the church desperately need to recover in our increasingly corrupt times.

The Evangelical Protestant church is in the midst of a crisis--but the causes might be different than we think. In this book, Jesse Hamilton argues that the reason for the church's growing disunity, moral and cultural confusion, and general lack of passion and power is its perpetual neglect of the fundamentals of discipleship--what it truly means to follow Jesus. Our only hope for change is to recalibrate our hearts and lives on the call of Christ and the New Testament distinctives of absolute surrender, deep and abiding holiness, the work of prayer, and engagement with the lost and needy of the world--all the things that the modern church has so often struggled to commit to. But first, the church must come to a biblical understanding of what these things actually are and how we must pursue them. Combining theological rigor with clarity of thought and simplicity of style, Discipleship and the Evangelical Church aims to reach modern Christians with the urgent message of the hour, which is nothing other than the timeless call of Christ to follow him.
