Are you a follower of Jesus?
Don't answer too quickly.
In fact, you may want to read this book before you answer at all. Consider it a 'Define the Relationship' conversation to determine exactly where you stand. You may indeed be a passionate, fully devoted follower of Jesus. Or, you may be just a fan who admires Jesus but isn't ready to let him cramp your style. Then again, maybe you're not into Jesus, period.
In any case, don't take the question—Are you a follower of Jesus?—lightly.
Some people don't know what they've said yes to and other people don't realize what they've said no to, says Pastor Kyle Idleman. But Jesus is ready to clearly define the relationship he wants with his followers.
Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness sprinkled with humor, Idleman invites you to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for you.

The writer takes an honest and sometimes humorous look at what it means to be devoted to the Lord instead of a shallow faith that cannot get you through the storms of life. He encourages you not to look at others, but to look at your own heart and see where you really are. This is not make me feel good about me book. It is about your realationship with God being REAL.

Written with honesty, directness and humor and makes plain an important truth about what it means to really believe in Jesus. If you consider yourself a Christian, it is important to read this book. And be honest with yourself.

This book has a great message but honestly it is very repetitive. The entire message can be brought forth with two chapters tops. My wife and I found it very hard to read through the entire book together. Kyle Idleman has his heart in the right place but he should flesh out any future books he may write and bring something new to every chapter rather than the same thing the previous chapter said.

I never thought of being a follower or fan of Jesus before. Made me realize where I need to make a few changes in my relationship with Him.

This is a wonderful book that will lead you on the right path to following Jesus. There is a journal and video that goes with this to help you have a better understanding.

An excellent read - Mr. Idleman makes a straightforward case for true discipleship versus fan-dom - which most of us, unfortunately, really are. He's insightful, often humourous, but makes a lot of good points when asking the reader to consider their "true", authentic relationship with Our Savior. Personally, I've had my eyes opened as to where I really stand in that relationship, and what I need to do to become a true follower...and Not a Fan. Wish I had been given this information a long time ago...but glad that Mr. Idleman has given it to me now.

Great read. Very easy and short. The author does a great job in making his arguments and points. We are going to be using the small group material in the summer at our church and I am already praying and for what God is going to do in our church.

This book will bring you face to face with Jesus and his call to you to personally commit yourself to following him

This book completly changed my life. I now am beginning a true relationship with God. See I used to think if I squeezed in 5 minutes a day for God, everythings going to go good. Well one day I started reading not a fan and realized that I was wrong. I got down on my knees and asked forgivness from God for living selfishly. My name is Lee and I am not a fan.

I really enjoyed this book! He does an excellent job of weaving humor throughout the book while making me take a serious look at my life and my walk with the Lord. I've bought copies of the book for friends and family and know I'll be buying more. It's a must read for everyone!

Reading this book really made me think if I was just doing "Lip service" to being a Christian, and I pray that it helped me to do more! Every Christian could benefit from reading and really being honest with this book.

What a great book! I read the book thinking it was going to be something different... then my Church offered a 6 week book study. I jumped at the chance to learn more. I highly recommend reading the book as well as the book study, both together answer more questions and will help you better understand what God wants from you!

This book is a guide line to what a real Christian should be. Easy to read and understand. It touched on a few subjects that I needed clarification on. I heard about this book from our pastor. It's a must read. Especially for new Christians.
