Into His Likeness DVD set

The disciple in the traditional disciple-rabbi connection would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be coated in dust stirred up by his rabbi's feet. Thousands of years later, we are still invited to be disciples—to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely that we are covered with his life, altered, and made new.

However, this change in Christ does not occur overnight. Edward Sri's latest book reminds us of two fundamental truths: First, (A) the reality about our human condition: we have numerous flaws, wounds, and misdeeds. Second, (B) we are invited to be perfected in God's love and changed in Christ. Living as a disciple is all about going from point A to point B.

Edward Sri weaves entertaining writing and accessible anecdotes with biblical knowledge and saints' lives to show that change in Christ is attainable at any age. We are reminded that the saints were not always faultless; consider Matthew the tax collector, Paul the persecutor of Christians, and Peter the Christ-denier. According to Edward Sri, the early followers are representations of a process rather than perfection. And it is this process that Jesus wants to replicate in our lives today.

Do you feel a stirring inside you, a yearning to go deeper in your connection with Christ? Do you want to follow Jesus more intimately and be changed by him? Do you sense a stirring within, a want to love God with all your heart, but you're not sure what to do next?

If you replied yes to any of these questions, realise that God is the source of your longings. He has already given you a disciple's heart. This book merely seeks to assist you in following the Holy Spirit's early promptings so that you may more consciously meet Jesus again each day and be more open to the power of his grace moulding and reshaping you into his image.
