"The Bible offers magnificent examples of what is required to be a disciple, waliking on the path that leads to God—a path that Jesus illuminated so clearly. This book draws on those examples with faithful perception and insight, and gives most helpful guidance. It is encouraging to see the Bible put to the service of spiritual growth in this way."
—Raymond E. Brown, Auburn Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Union Theological Seminary (NYC)

"Following in the Footsteps of Jesus is a delightful blend of perceptive interpretation of Scripture and thoughtful reflection on the moral imperatives that flow from the Bible. Through encounters with biblical characters, Coleman and Pettingill offer readers an opportunity to test out their own discipleship and embrace the need for ongoing conversion."
