p>The quest of every committed disciple of Christ is to become more like Him—more loving, more pure in heart, more devoted to the work of the kingdom. This most rewarding of tasks may at times seem daunting. What are some practical, day-to-day ways in which we can accomplish it?

Author Brent L. Top addresses that question in this motivating book, which deals primarily with three specific areas in which we can become more Christlike: in our personal lives, in our relationships with others, and through leadership. Included in the discussion are ideas for being a positive example, cleansing the inner vessel, and having uplifting conversation.

Love is an important theme in the book, and the author explains that Christlike love is most often expressed through actions. “I believe it is for a purpose that the scriptures emphasize Christ’s love as seen through his actions more than through his verbal expressions,” he writes. “He healed the afflicted, he lifted the downtrodden, he taught the spiritually hungry, he blessed, he touched, he wept, he served—he loved!”

Lord, I Would Follow Thee will help the reader remember the Lore more, know him better, and serve him more valiantly.
