This book, by Larry Stevens, is a transformative guide centered on the life and teachings of Jesus. It caters to all readers, from devout Christians to seekers and skeptics, offering a practical approach to living an impactful, productive, and happy life. Stevens bypasses deep religious discourse and historical analysis to focus on the core principles Jesus emphasized: three fundamental teachings that shaped his ministry and have the power to change your life. Join Stevens on this insightful journey to uncover the simple yet profound theology that revolutionized the world.
“Christianity - as both a personal belief system and an institution - has a diverse and complex history. Religions of the world rooted in the record- ed life and teachings of Jesus vary dramatically in many ways. Put On Your Sandals and Follow Me is a refreshing look at the foundational elements of personal Christian faith that transcend institutional differences. It will change your perspective on the gift of Jesus.”

"As a child, I was taught that I should live my life like Jesus lived his, but I never exactly understood why. Larry Stevens gives us a glimpse into that why including the mutual benefit of grace, love, forgiveness, and generosity as we associate with others."
