How can they grow a strong identity as disciples of Christ and members of his community while still caring for their Muslim families? The 'Come Follow Me' discipleship course was written specifically for new believers from a Muslim background as they start to follow Jesus the Messiah. It comes in two parts, the study guide, which is needed by learners and Advisors, and the Advisor's guide, which is available to download for free from our website come-follow-me.org, or can be ordered from the Come Follow Me online shop. Come Follow Me is based on an inductive study of 1 Peter, and participants grow through a powerful combination of self-study, regular discussion with a mentor (or in a group) and practical learning tasks. It aims for deep-level discipleship, which affects issues of belonging (e.g. to old and new communities), worldview (including fatalism, revenge, good deeds etc) and behaviour (e.g. marriage relationships, conflict resolution).

The focus of this book is on the situation prevailing in the United States, England and Wales, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand from 1922 to 1965, whereby Catholic schools were used to maximise the possibility of recruiting new members to the religious oders and to minimise the temptation to leave the religious life amongst those who had already joined. Four major practices are examined in this regard. First, Catholic schools deliberately set out to encourage pupils to join the ranks of the religious. Secondly, they replicated within the schools the authoritarianism of the religious life. Thirdly, they worked continuously to marginalize lay teachers from their decision-making. Finally, they were ever vigilant in their opposition to co-education and sex education. The contribution of the religious orders to Catholic education is recognized, but consideration is also given to child abuse, both physical and sexual, in whhich members of various religious teaching orders engaged. The book closes with some consideration of current practices in Catholic education. -- book cover.

The invitation "come, follow Me" issued by God to anyone and/or all of us opens the door to the most exciting adventure in life. The invitation is to go with him and take part in working in His Kingdom. Individuals are invited to participate in accomplishing God's will, not only for one's own life, but also for sharing God's Word and God's invitation with others around the world. The subtitle "You Want Me to Do What?" is often the response we make to God's invitation. Jesus called Peter, Andrew, James, and John to leave their fishing nets and "come and follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." They were asked to leave all they knew and begin a totally new and different life. Jesus called people to a full and unconditional commitment. This work is one man's account of his life and the adventure on which God had taken him.
