Follow My Lead

Follow My Lead: Responding to God’s Voice in Everyday Encounters
By Holly A. Melton (Regal)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

I predicted Melton would hear “God’s whispers,” as she calls them, too often for my Philippians 2:12 kind of logic. But her carefully detailed experiences—often missional moments with individuals—have pushed me to bring in Philippians 2:13 all the time. None of her examples are far-fetched or superhuman—these are real life examples with which we can all connect—and they are missional moments we could easily miss with a yawn. The challenge of each story: read between the lines, listen for hurt, love with action. God will lead your heart! Each chapter closes with sharp questions and prayer suggestions. Melton’s book is written so that all of us can relate and grow in nerve to serve others and think more like Jesus did. It makes me want to follow where his Spirit leads! —Knute Larson, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
