Called to Follow, Book Three of the Going Deeper: A Journey with Jesus series, uses the outline of the baptismal covenant from the Affirmation of Baptism service to describe the characteristics of what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus. Christians at all points on their faith journeys will find this to be an in-depth and challenging companion. We learn to live in God daily, "walking wet," living out our baptism, born anew to become the hands and feet of Christ for the world. The book features daily study prompts and questions for reflection, along with ample room to write your answers...

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus invites us into a new community, and gives us a vision of the best possible way of living in the world, for the good of all. This new world Jesus envisions is a wonderful alternative to the contemporary culture of hate and fear. It's my hope that these words of Jesus will grab us and not let us go. It's my prayer that we not only hear them, but do them, so that they become part of us, and we are changed by them.

This is an intriguing invitation to engage a new economy as described by God through Scripture and based on the core beliefs that everything belongs to God and all life is a gift from God. As followers of God's word, we are entrusted with living into this new economy through our daily decisions and the conversations we have in community with others. - Keith A. Mundy, Program Director, Stewardship (ELCA)
