Book excerpt: FIRST came the bestselling book. Then the popular blog. Now essential Christian formation for anyone between 16 and 22. The gravity point of a life before God is that his followers are to love God and love others with everything they have. Scot McKnight calls this "The Jesus Creed." Now, he's worked it out with high school and college students, seeking to show how this double commandment to love makes sense and gives shape to the moral lives of young adults. The Jesus Creed for Students aims to demonstrate a simple truth - that followers of Jesus, follow Jesus. (Also, its practical, filled with stories, and backed up and checked by youth pastors.)
