The hard truth is that many evangelical churches have plenty of attenders and even “members” who call themselves “believers”, but lack a personal relationship with Christ that has resulted in salvation. Jay Scribner confronts this problem head-on in ‘Jesus-Follower: Beyond Belief’. Brother Jay pokes, prods and asks the uncomfortable questions. It’s just what everyone needs in order to be certain our faith is staked in the bedrock of Christ, not in a false hope.”
In the midst of a culture permeating with violence, deception and the shifting sands of moral relativism, people are looking for “the sure thing”.
Jay Scribner, draws from his vast pastoral experience and has given us a timely answer: be sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock that is Jesus Christ.”
This book is a delightful, inspiring, question-answering training book that every Christ-follower should read, maybe even be mentored/trained through. Too many Christ-followers are not well-equipped to feel secure in sharing their faith with others. Consequently, they don’t.
Simple answers, key scriptures, and “real” experiences are provided to build confidence. Pastors, deacons, teachers and especially new Christ-followers should read and put to memory several key statements and scriptural references from it.Pastors, great sermon materials.
“Pastor Jay Scribner writes a clear, concise and to the point presentation in his book ‘Jesus Follower: Beyond Belief.’ He challenges his readers to evaluate whether their belief is beyond intellectual and is truly a genuine work of God. You will be blessed, encouraged and brought to a confident faith as God’s Spirit affirms to you that you know and follow Jesus.”

“I’m a believer.” So many times we make that flippant declaration as if that’s the winning lottery ticket to secure an entrance into heaven. Is it enough just to be a believer? The premise of this entire book is based on James 2:19. Here’s what that says: “You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder.” (NIV)
