Introduction
Title: Fake or Follower: Refusing to Settle for a Shallow Faith
Author: Andi Andrew
Publisher: Baker Publishing Group
Publication Date: 2018
Format: paperback
Length: 235 pages
OVERVIEW
What does it looks like when we choose to go beyond just doing Christianity as a duty to pursuing growth, community and love? Andi Andrew examines that idea here, describing the challenges of pursuing a mature faith and the many benefits it creates along the way.
This isn’t a groundbreaking book, but it doesn’t need to be. Instead, it’s a great look at a truth that Christians are perpetually tempted to forget: growing in Christ requires growing in painful ways. Andrew honestly uses stories from her own faith journey as well her experiences as a pastor and parent to describe the trials and joys of pursuing a mature faith. She also accurately pinpoints weaknesses that many American Christians have about following Christ and what it takes to overcome them.
