Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

Not a Fan has already called more than one million listeners to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple—moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus.

After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan.

Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus.

No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to:

  • Examine your relationship with God
  • Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules
  • Pray the way Jesus prayed
  • Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you

This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message.

Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

good book, bad narration

I read this twice and then got this. Kyle, why can't you just read without trying to sound cool and edgy? you remind me of Ned Flanders kids

Not a fan?

Never thought of it this way; fan or follower. I liked the book. I'm offering it to my small group at church to do a book study on. We are going to offer hard copy or audio book as choices.

Not a fan

This book got recommended to me by my youth pastor a few years ago. I heard about it again recently when I was reading a book called”Why I Stand” I’m very glad I came back across this book because it has turkey challenged me in my faith and reminded me what it means to be a true follower of Christ!

Excellent read/listen!

This book prompted so much thought about my relationship with Jesus. I love that it isn’t a “do these ten things” book. Instead it’s a challenge to define the relationship and get off the fence kind of book.
