The Transformed Follower

What struck people about the first followers of Jesus was not that they were extraordinary – in fact, they were 'uneducated and untrained men … (but) they realized that they had been with Jesus' (Acts 4:13). For anyone who believes in Jesus’ greatness, this book is a fantastic encouragement to cooperate with Him as He brings the greatness of His life out from inside you.

Henry’s many years of pastoral leadership, devotion to discipleship and discipling others shines through. This is a super helpful book and resource for all, no matter how long you’ve been following the way of Jesus.

There are not many books on discipleship written from experience and an in-depth knowledge. In this book, Rev Henry takes us through to a deeper understanding of our relationship with Jesus who is the image of our invisible God.

The Transformed Follower brings the reader closer to a very deep knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ as we travel through the journey of life. 'There are many roads we travel on in our lives and many opportunities for Him to draw alongside us so we may encounter His presence.'

I will recommend this book to everyone who desires to have an in-depth knowledge of Christ the Messiah.

If you want to know about the call of God on your life, the authority that He’s given us and our mission as followers (disciples) of Christ, then I strongly suggest you read this book and be prepared to be challenged and changed. As followers of Christ, as we allow Him to transform us, so we are empowered and released to transform our communities.

This book gives many challenges that we as comfortable disciples need to hear and act upon. It encourages us to assess our own lives and be less self-centred and more outwardly focused to a lost and hurting community. It is a book that encourages intimacy with Christ which in turn motivates disciples into service for Him.

Why do we exist? What is our purpose in this world? If these are some of your questions, please read this book and be prepared for God to transform you from the inside out.

A very personal and powerful testimony runs throughout this book, combining experienced life events and manifestations of the Holy Spirit with the outworking of Scripture through Henry’s life. There is a deep message of transformation for individuals but also for the Church; the book shares what one might experience when they are saved and how that could be lived out corporately. This beautiful description of the transformed Church living in the transformed Love of Christ helped validate my own discernments and feelings.

Discipleship is a major and key value running throughout Christianity. The Gospels record Jesus beginning His earthly ministry by calling His disciples, and among His final words of instruction to those disciples was that they 'make disciples of all nations'.

In this book, Henry Pradella sets out a great biblical basis and praxis to enable Jesus’ disciples to carry on His ministry to make disciples of all nations. Definitely worth a read.

A challenging and thought-provoking read. Henry tackles various aspects of our walk with Christ, showing how God uses His Word to lay a foundation to bring transformation and empowerment to a believer’s life. May God use this book to probe your heart and bring a greater change in your life through His truth.
