How can being nervous help us be a disciple? Being complacent can work against us as we are called to always be ready, waiting and alert to share our lives with those around us. Yet sometimes we need banana peels in our lives to humble us and to trust God.

What is the power of silence? It is a way for us to lay down our weapons and create opportunities for love and kindness. Sometimes it is just good to stop, lower the temperature and listen to one another. Silence can speak volumes!!

Can we live the life of a disciple simply out of being proper or rooted in love? Jesus reminds us of the two greatest commandments that are both rooted in love. In order to follow Jesus, it is not enough to do this out of simple obligation but rooted in a loving relationship with him and others.

What is the difference between sympathy and compassion? One keeps us at a distance while the other calls us to share in the suffering of others. How can we live a life of compassion like the story of the widow who gives two coins to the treasury?

Can anyone ever replace us? In our jobs and volunteer work -- we yes for sure but in the hearts and lives of those around us? Never!! The heart of discipleship is to serve and love others despite the changes and transitions in our lives. The heart of Jesus was connecting and meeting others where they are at.

Most of us find our self worth in comparing ourselves to others -- we are in competition to be the best. Yet Jesus teaches us to serve in loving humility offering ourselves completely to others. What really fills us up? Climbing the ladder of success or by serving those around us?

How can we not be cynical in our world today? How can we stop having hardened hearts? Have we lost joy and enthusiasm completely? Find out what can help us avoid the path of complainers and moaners!!

Are we caught sleeping through life? We are called to STAY AWAKE in the gospel but have we fallen into routines and things that are not important in our lives? A chance encounter can help us get back on course and wake up to the gift of life that God has given us!!

Why are we reading this book? How will it help us become better disciples? David Wells shares his life, faith and family with us so that we can see God in our daily lives!! Take a risk---get the book and join us on this journey!!

David Wells reminds us that we need to experience conversion and conviction if we are going to respond to Christ's call to follow Him. This is not easily done. It is okay to be hesitant--wondering what it will mean to follow Jesus. Maybe you want to be a stuntman??
