Real Faith for Real Life: Living the Six Marks of Discipleship

by Michael W. Foss (Author)
For Christians seeking to apply their faith to everyday life, Real Faith for Real Life invites readers to answer the call of discipleship and provides guidance and examples of how to do so successfully. Michael Foss, author of Power Surge, encourages readers to rely on six time-tested marks of discipleships that encourage the practice of faith in everyday life:
  • Daily prayer
  • Bible reading
  • Weekly worship
  • Christian service
  • Relationships that encourage spiritual growth
  • Giving in the spirit of generosity
Using Bible passages and real-life stories, Foss illustrates how each mark of discipleship enhances and supports the growth of a person's faith journey. This book also includes study questions and journaling suggestions for small group discussion and individual reflection.
