The Reluctant Disciple – Introduction

by Allison Powell | Feb 10, 2020 | Book Club - THE RELUCTANT DISCIPLE by David Wells

Books are wonderful tools for us to learn, imagine, grow and change.  The St. George Book Club is a way for all of us to grow in our faith, share some stories and become closer to Christ and to one another. David Wells is a brilliant, witty and practical man who...

The Reluctant Disciple – Chapter 1

by Allison Powell | Feb 10, 2020 | Book Club - THE RELUCTANT DISCIPLE by David Wells

This first chapter of the book sets the tone for all of us.  He starts with the call of the disciples who immediately drop what they are doing and follow Him.  It sounds pretty simple but we all know that we are only getting part of the picture.  The disciples...

The Reluctant Disciple – Chapter 2

by Allison Powell | Feb 11, 2020 | Book Club - THE RELUCTANT DISCIPLE by David Wells

BE ALERT—STAY AWAKE!!  This is what we hear in Mark’s gospel.  Yet all of us fall into the trap of having life simply pass us by.  Sometimes we can fall into routine going through life and maybe at times simply trying to survive.  Some of us get so busy...

The Reluctant Disciple – Chapter 4

by Allison Powell | Feb 11, 2020 | Book Club - THE RELUCTANT DISCIPLE by David Wells

We often define our lives by comparing ourselves to others.  This starts at a very young age and develops into bigger things over time.  We need to be valued and appreciated, given recognition and be better than others.  Yet this way of life can leave us quite empty...

The Reluctant Disciple – Chapter 5

by Allison Powell | Feb 11, 2020 | Book Club - THE RELUCTANT DISCIPLE by David Wells

How do we measure the success of our lives?  How can we judge if we have lived a good and meaningful life?  In this chapter, David Wells, reminds us that we are not the centre of our lives.  There are many transitions and changes in our lives but throughout all of...
