Not a fan

Not a Fan draws a sharp line between admiring Jesus and actually following him. Kyle Idleman argues that much of contemporary Christianity has produced "fans" — people who like the idea of Jesus, attend church, and hold generally positive feelings about him — without ever making the costly, total commitment the New Testament describes as discipleship.

Structured around real stories from Idleman's own congregation, the book pushes readers to examine whether their faith is genuine surrender or comfortable spectatorship, framed as a literal "complete-the-contract" call to commitment.
