Doing the Works of Jesus Book 1: Becoming a Disciple Who Loves

"Becoming a Disciple Who Loves, the first volume of Doing the Works of Jesus by Alan Drake, provides a... powerful answer to the question, 'How do I imitate Christ’s love in my own life?'

Readers who want to follow Christ’s example of love will find a strong call to love, the tools and disciplines needed to live a life of love, and an everyday understanding of how powerful such a life can be.

The volume title, Becoming a Disciple Who Loves, gives readers a sense that the book is the beginning of a process of becoming—beckoning readers into a new lifestyle of love.... The writing is welcoming like the cover image, but it’s not fluffy—Drake gets down to practical, empowering information right away. His logic is clear and well documented in its biblical roots.

Drake’s book offers Christian readers foundational knowledge and empowerment that will help them embody Jesus’s transformational love."
