The Unfinished Disciple

Most books on discipleship tell you what to do. This one tells you what it actually feels like.The Unfinished Disciple is the honest account of one ordinary man's journey of following Jesus - through surrender and failure, through community and woundedness, through seasons of fire and seasons of ash. It does not begin with arrival. It begins on a rooftop in Bangalore, with four friends, an open sky and a God who showed up where nobody thought to look for Him. Shoy Thomas writes with the kind of honesty that is rare in Christian publishing. He names his pride, his drift, his thirty pieces of silver. He writes about the wound that came from inside the family of faith, about the year he was so busy serving God he forgot to be with Him, and about the morning his wedding day was shadowed by grief - and how grace turned it into something beautiful anyway. But this is not a book about struggle alone. It is a book about what holds a disciple when everything else shifts. About the mentor who never gave a lecture but simply stayed. About the woman dying of cancer whose only fear was losing her voice before she finished telling people about Jesus. The Unfinished Disciple is for the tired and the searching, the faithful and the falling, the young disciple full of fire and the older one wondering if the fire can be lit again.It is for anyone who has not yet arrived - and is still walking anyway.Because it turns out, that is exactly where Jesus meets us.
