Jeff Vanderstelt on Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life


I’ve been encouraged by my recent reading of two excellent books, each of which in different ways explores the whole-life nature of Christian faith and discipleship:

Joe Rigney, The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts (Wheaton: Crossway, 2015).

Michael Wittmer, Becoming Worldly Saints: Can You Serve Jesus and Still Enjoy Your Life? (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2015).

A third one, reinforcing the same message, is due out fairly soon, which also looks like it will be very helpful:

Jeff Vanderstelt, Saturate: Being Disciples of Jesus in the Everyday Stuff of Life (Wheaton: Crossway, 2015).

According to the blurb:

‘Vanderstelt sets forth a vision for living as disciples of Jesus in the everyday stuff of life, not just on Sundays. He challenges us to see discipleship as something that happens at home, at work, over coffee, and everywhere in between.’

There’s more information here, including an introductory video and a link to a pdf excerpt.
