About this ebook

Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus.

After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan.

Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus.

No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to:

• Examine your relationship with God
• Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules
• Pray the way Jesus prayed
• Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you

This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message.

Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

Ratings and reviews

Not a fan is a gauntlet for Christians. You say you love Jesus but do you or are you just a t-shirt, bumper sticker & cross wearing fan. Jesus is a good decoration for your life but is He your life? At least until you read this book you may not be too sure because you hadn't realized you were a Jesus fan not a disciple. This book definitely increased my walk & took the decoration out of my discipleship. Every Christian looking to go deeper with God should read this book!

This book will make you reflect on your actions, and rethink on your faith. I was touched by the testimonies of how God helped the lives of those terribly broken. I love it. Must read!

Bought the audio book, cannot recommend this highly enough.
