The Publishing Story: Trust and Follow Jesus

Daniel McCoy, the editor-in-chief of Renew.org, contacted us to help them redo their 2019 book Trust and Follow Jesus, a guide for small discipleship groups. Author Bobby Harrington recruited the help of Harding University professors Carl and Alicia Williamson to rewrite and add to this great resource.

Specific Services We Provided

We helped with:

• Project management
• Interior design and typesetting
• Cover design
• eBook formatting
• Copyediting and proofreading

Trust and Follow Jesus was completed in September of 2023.

Our design team enjoyed the challenge of creating original illustrations to go with the memory device explained in this book for seven essentials elements of Christian faith. And as usual, Renew.org was a pleasure to work with.

We appreciate Daniel McCoy’s kind endorsement: “As always, YouPublish was excellent to work with.”

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TRUST AND FOLLOW JESUS TODAY?

This short guide brings you back to the basics in a cut-to-the-chase style. Author Bobby Harrington and contributors Carl and Alicia Williamson present short and succinct points with Scripture references to answer bottom-line questions about following Jesus. Designed with discipleship groups in mind, this book will encourage healthy and robust conversations for you and your church.

Trust and Follow Jesus is a guide both for those who are unsure of their faith and for devout Christians. It will establish key teachings of the faith found in Scripture. You’ll walk away with your mind informed, your heart enlivened, and your hands activated by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
