Lewis helps readers to understand and live out Christian discipleship in a way that is most deeply authentic for themselves.

This book is for the leader who is exhausted from trying to live by other people’s templates, who wants to figure out what it looks like to live & lead as only they can. It’s for the student or layperson desiring to follow Christ with integrity, to be themselves fully as a disciple. This book is scholarly but accessible for pastors, students, ministry leaders, and lay people.

Lewis structures it around the story of the Samaritan woman and guides the reader to discover deep connection with biblical characters who lead to self-discovery.

Questions for reflection throughout the book evoke deep insights about self, theology, and discipleship.

Belonging is excellent for clergy development and ministry leader development in any setting and can be read and studied alone or in groups. Pastors and other congregational leaders can work their way through the book together, in order to lead the church with greater integrity.
