A Disciple After God’s Heart

By Caleb C. H. Mah

Is it possible to be a disciple of Jesus after God’s heart? For matured Christians, this may not be an issue, but still, it is good to know or learn more about how to follow Jesus. For new Christians, walking with Jesus is a daily growing process. He or she will want to learn early in his or her Christian life how to follow Jesus. And the question is, How can a disciple of Jesus Christ experience what King David did as a man after God’s heart? This had been a question in my mind for many years as I served as a missionary in Cambodia. I believe a Christian, new or matured, can be a disciple of Jesus after God’s heart.

In this study book, I have used some examples of David’s life and his obedience to God as to why he was called a man after God’s heart. I applied the combination of David’s life to discipleship with spiritual disciplines to transform our lives as disciples of Jesus. Hence, in this study, we will find out how a Christian can be a disciple after God’s heart. Here is how you can use this book: first you study to be a disciple of Jesus after God’s heart, then you study this book the second time to be a disciple seeking after God’s heart.
