WHERE IS THE PATH YOU’RE ON LEADING?
Ancient rabbis taught on the move. So life, for every rabbi’s students or apprentices, was literally a journey of learning. With a rabbi, the whole of life became a risk taking, active experience. A rabbi’s apprentice had one simple goal: to imitate him.
Apprentices trusted their rabbi completely, working passionately to incorporate his actions and attitudes, as well as his words, into their lives. An apprentice’s deepest desire was to follow their rabbi so closely that they would start to think and respond to life just like him.
In a book filled with honesty, heart and creativity, Chalke explores what it means to be a 21st century apprentice to the master rabbi, Jesus.
apprentice encourages us to ask our most probing questions, to embrace our greatest doubts and live courageously. Through a mix of captivating parables and thoughtful commentary, bestselling author Steve Chalke calls us into a deep experience of learning and relationship with Christ.
