About this ebook

You read the Sermon on the Mount and something in you comes alive. You close the Bible an hour later and snap at your spouse over nothing. If that gap between who you want to be and who you actually are has ever left you discouraged, this book was not written to shame you. It was written to show you that the gap itself is proof the Holy Spirit is already at work.

Becoming More Like Christ takes Paul's words to the church in Corinth, written from Ephesus around AD 55, "we all... are being transformed into his image with ever increasing glory," and turns them into a practical, chapter by chapter path for ordinary believers. Author Josiah Everstone walks through what Christlike character actually looks like: love that costs something, humility that survives criticism, integrity that holds under pressure, and fruit of the Spirit that grows through real trials instead of theory.

This is not a book about performing better for God. It is a study on cooperating with the Spirit so that character catches up with conviction. Pastors will find fresh material for discipleship teaching. Worship leaders and intercessors will find language for the quiet work God does between Sunday mornings. Every reader tired of knowing about Christ without looking like Him will find, chapter after chapter, a clear and workable path forward, in relationships, at work, in community, and in the ordinary hours that make up most of life.

Backed by careful biblical research and a complete bibliography, this book gives serious believers something rare: substance instead of slogans. Start chapter one today, and watch conviction finally start closing the gap with character.

Stop settling for knowing the truth about Christ without living it. Get your copy of Becoming More Like Christ now and start the slow, steady work of actually becoming like Him.

About the author

Josiah Everstone writes for believers caught in the gap between what they believe and how they actually live. Drawing on years of close study of Scripture and time spent walking alongside people in local church settings, Everstone writes with the conviction that Christlike character is not reserved for pastors or spiritual elites, but the normal, expected outcome of any believer who cooperates, day after day, with the Spirit already at work in them.
