Abilene, TX — Follow Is a Verb is a practical, accessible guide for those seeking to grow in faith by actively practicing the way of Jesus. Drawing from the spiritual habits modeled in his life—such as prayer, Sabbath, community, confession, and more—this book invites readers to move beyond just learning about Jesus to living like him. Each short chapter begins with Scripture and includes real-world applications drawn from centuries of Christian wisdom. Designed for individual or group use, the two-week rhythm of each lesson encourages deeper transformation through spiritual practice, not just discussion. Whether you’re a new believer, a seasoned disciple, or a church leader hungry to cultivate authentic spiritual growth, Follow Is a Verb offers a path toward a life of freedom, joy, and purposeful faith.
“When it comes to spiritual formation, most of us need practical guidance, not just content explaining why it is needed. We need steps, practices, encouragement, and invitations. In Follow Is a Verb, Courtney does just that. She does not write as one who has arrived but one who is on the journey with us. This book belongs on the shelf next to Ruth Haley Barton and John Mark Comer. It is that good.” —Josh Ross, pastor and author
