Many books have been written on how to be a leader. But few books deal with how to be a follower. While some are called to be leaders, far more are called to be followers. In our daily lives, we are called to be followers in many different forms. The secret to a strong marriage is the ability to be a good follower of our spouse. Parents must teach their children how to be good followers in the family, in school and in the church. Much has been written about the decline in the respect for authority among the children of today. But where can parents go to find guidance in teaching their children the importance of being a good follower?
In our jobs, we must follow our leaders. In the church, we must follow the leading of our pastors and other church leaders. But the pastor must also be a good follower, as we are all called to follow God.
In the last words of Jesus, he commended His spirit to his Father. This is the example of the true follower that Jesus left for us. In this ground-breaking book, Dag Heward-Mills provides practical ways that we can be good followers in all that we do.
