This expanded and updated version of Not A Fan adds a new introduction and an entirely new chapter to this mega bestseller.Are you a follower of Jesus? Don’t answer too quickly. In fact, you may want to read this book before you answer at all. Consider it a “Define the Relationship” conversation to determine exactly where you stand. You may indeed be a passionate, fully devoted follower of Jesus. … of Jesus. Or, you may be just a fan who admires Jesus but isn’t ready to let him cramp your style. Then again, maybe you’re not into Jesus, period. In any case, don’t take the question–Are you a follower of Jesus?–lightly. Some people don’t know what they’ve said yes to and other people don’t realize what they’ve said no to, says Pastor Kyle Idleman. But Jesus is ready to clearly define the relationship he wants with his followers.
Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness sprinkled with humor, Idleman invites you to live the way Jesus lived, love the way he loved, pray the way he prayed, and never give up living for the One who gave his all for you.

This is my favorite Christian book of all time and a great introduction to Kyle Idleman. Give it a read. It might just change your life 🙂
Please read this book. Please take it’s message seriously. It will lead you to a path that will change your life and your eternity. Following Christ isn’t the prosperity gospel many people have preached to them today. The phrase “Take up your cross” is intended to be a hard work that requires sacrifice – but it is so worth it in the end.
Well, I AM a fan of this book! Practical teaching, word pictures, stories, examples and valuable insight in an easy to read format. Thank you Pastor Idleman for shining so bright a light and please continue to go there.
Everyone – Read. This. Book.
Great book about not being just a fan of Jesus but a deeply committed Christian.
Every Christian should read.
Convicting one about your relationship to Christ, makes a clear distinction between being a Fan or a real Follower. I use if for 1 x 1 with other men to bring them closer to God.
This is a great thinking book. What is YOUR faith journey like? Are you a fan or follower of Christ?
Francis Chan has a way of making you think about things in a different light
A must for all trying to better their walk with God!
Whew! Talk about convicting a Christian that thought they were following the path closely.
Enlightening! Really makes you stop and think, shared with several friends.
This is a convicting read. Be prepared for some disturbing questions and introspection. I may be reading this one again.
Think you’re a dedicated Christian? Think again. You will when you read this book. It is life-changing.
Every time I spend less time with God, I read this book again. My life–for Him. Find out what that really means and work it out in your own life, hour by hour.
The message of this book is “Don’t be just a fan of Jesus..be His follower.” I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend it to all the seekers put there.
Great book; a must read!
This is one of the most important books I’ve ever read. Such an important book for our times. A clear understanding of who Christ really is and how we should be living according o Him and not a church, tradition or man.
Will challenge the reader to examine their own life and find practical ways to grow deeper in Christ.
I wish everyone would read this book.
This is a great book. I highly recommend it. Makes you look at your relationship with Jesus is a whole new light
It’s a great read
