Editorial Review:
What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”?
Twenty years ago, pastor-teacher and bestselling author John MacArthur tackled that seemingly simple question—and wrote a book that has since taken its place among Christianity’s classics. This 20th Anniversary edition of MacArthur’s provocative book has been revised and contains one new chapter.

Rating:  - I think it's BOTH!
Grace and Works are often set in opposition to each other. Personally, I think a lot of these divisions are academic, nuanced discussions that the average lay person could care less about. Intuitively, I think we all recognize that God sought us out and His efforts through the life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus the Christ saved/saves us.

Rating:  - Largely incoherent
To paraphrase Chafer, the violence done to the understanding of scripture by confusing Israel and the Church is incalculable.
MacArthur starts this book describing how its thesis was derived through a multi-year study of the Book of Matthew.

The Gospel According to Jesus: What Is Authentic Faith?
I don't always care for MacArthur's writings. He seems a bit full of himself. But on this topic he is right on the spot. The church is in the process of replacing the real Jesus with a made-up non-lord of the universe one. Buy this book, read it, and pray for us all
