learning to follow jesus

I love to write.  Love it.

It has always been a dream of mine to write books.  Yes, that was plural.  I have been working on several book ideas and writings for YEARS, but never to the point of putting anything out to get published.  Did a few articles here and there, a few for relevant magazine, and a few for church groups…but no books.

I got a book agent a few years back that believed in my writing abilities and what I had to offer in the way of thoughts on paper (suckered that guy into being my agent really).

But – it took a new good friend, Daniel McNaughton from Philly, hooking up with me in Dallas and putting a great opportunity to co-write and expand the idea of discipleship – to get my butt to sit down long enough to punch out some writing for a book.

And guess what!?

It is going to be out this FALL.

LEARNING TO FOLLOW JESUS -by Daniel McNaughton and Trinity Jordan

The book is designed for those that are new to following Jesus and walks them through 7 attributes that are essential to learn in our journey with Jesus.  It was designed with the idea that a new believer would have a spiritual coach/mentor walk with them through these essentials.  No more discipleship classes, no more expecting people to just “get it” when they come around long enough.  This is a strategic attempt to teach and get one-on-one discipleship in place.

Maybe it will never blow up anywhere else, but for Daniel’s church and Elevation…we will become churches that are committed to discipleship by individuals.  As my friend JR Mahon calls it, “table top evangelism.”

Here is the first concept cover for the book…designed of course by Elevation Studios (Brandon Irwin).
