Do we dare to actually model our lives after Jesus? Here is a better question, do we dare not to model ourselves after Jesus? Jesus calls us to follow His example, which is radically different and contrary to what we are used to.
Gayle does a masterful job of drawing out deep heart issues and practical life issues to challenge us. Jesus’ example is so simple, and yet these points will stretch us to the limit if we seriously consider following Him. Applying these truths will require a transfo More...

So far so good. An easy read. He points out in what way Jesus did His ministry and how unkingly He really was by the world's standards. Helps us to see His standards more clearly. Just like it. Gayle Erwin speaks at Calvary Chapels often and I really trust his work.
After reading it, I suggest it to others. It's easy to understand and yet a depth that many have never thought of. He explains himself quite well. For instance, he remarks on how a gold cross on a pretty chain has become a More...

This book changed my view and relationship with Jesus Christ..Who do You say that I AM Jesus asked? (Matthew 16:15-17)How we answer this question defines our relationship with God and how strong and defining that relationship will be! Gayle is very good at cutting through religious misunderstandings of who Jesus was, and presents in a clear understandable way the fullness of Jesus that all (who desire) can relate to and follow..

This is one of my favorite books on Jesus- it expands on his ministry, his specific actions and his servant lifestyle. I studied it with a group of young adults and it was challenging and life changing in the area of how to apply servanthood to everyday life. A great book for a small group discussion, particularly new Christians or young adults.

This book is definitely based on scriptural principles. I have heard this author speak on multiple occasions, but was sadly dissapointed in his writing style. He is a much better orator than author. The material was spot on, I just felt it was not presented in the best way possible. I guess I was hoping for a style more like Lucado.

Rescues Biblical passages from familiarity and reexamines them to seek Jesus approach as well as the content of what He teaches. The phrasing and illustrations of the author are both memorable, and hearing him actually read the audiobook, free from servants.org,is a treat. Especially appreciated the passages comparing serving to being manipulated and on parenting as a servant.

A great book on leadership in the style of Jesus. It focuses on his humanity, and helps us to see him the way his disciples would have seen him. I learned a ton from this book.

Excellent book putting Western leadership styles to rest. Servant leadership, the kind evidenced and taught by Jesus, is absolutely, unequivocally essential to a vital Christian church and a true Christian life. "The Jesus Style" is an easy-to-understand and often-brilliant introduction to leading and living "Jesus style". There are some other books and thinkers suggesting these things, but they aren't as plentiful as they should be. This book deconstructs hurtful and worldly

Good book on the servant nature of Jesus, with plenty of thought provoking things in it.

I try to read this every year so I can remember the servant nature of the Christ. This is an excellent read for any one and Erwin is brilliant.
