Kyle Idleman Books & Studies

Kyle Idleman is the bestselling author of Not a Fan, and teaching pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky, the fourth-largest church in the U.S. In addition to writing and preaching, he regularly speaks at conferences and events around the world. His newest book, Don't Give Up, released this March.

Marriage difficulties, debt, health issues...sometimes life leaves us hanging by a thread. How can we fight back? Don't give up! Empowering you to move forward, Idleman shares Scripture stories and first-person testimonies to help you cast your cares on God, trust in his love and timing, and keep on going---no matter what.

Based on his bestseller Not a Fan, author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that Jesus calls us not to cheer for him but to chase after him. It is becoming a completely committed follower of Jesus.

With a frankness that many readers are not likely to hear in church or Sunday school class, Kyle offers an invitation to take an honest look at one’s relationship with Jesus. His call to follow may seem radical. It is more about repentance than forgiveness, more about surrender than salvation, more about brokenness than happiness, and more about death than about life. It’s not a comfortable and reassuring path. It’s certainly not about just being a fan of Jesus, sitting on the sidelines cheering for his cause. It’s about being a true follower where a person lives into their new identity in Christ.

What better way to celebrate Easter than to receive forgiveness and experience God's grace in your life?

We all have them. Burdens of guilt and shame we carry around. We're weighed down, constantly reminded of where we've fallen short. But the truth is we're carrying around something that isn't ours. Our sins and shortcomings belong to Jesus. He carried them to the cross. He paid our debt. And he wanted to make sure we knew it.

In this book you'll discover the seven last sayings of Christ from the cross--both what he said and what his words mean for your life today. So get ready to lay your burdens down at the foot of the cross and receive God's unsurpassable grace.
