The Apprentice Series (3 vols.)
Overview
James Bryan Smith believes the gospel is about change in our lives today, not just our eternal destiny. In The Apprentice Series he aims to assist Christians in developing a robust discipleship by helping them understand who God is, what it means to be a Christian, and what it means to live in community as a part of God’s kingdom. Throughout the series Smith helps us discard the flawed narratives of our hearts and replace them with the truths God reveals in his word about himself, the Christian life, and his Church. This series encourages you to read, journal, pray, discuss, and participate in weekly spiritual exercises to help you engage with the text. Smith guides us in being with Jesus and discovering the narratives he lived by. Get to know the God Jesus knows and the kingdom he proclaims.
