“Apprenticeship with Jesus is a joy-filled resource for fleshing out the details of ongoing companionship with the Author of our salvation. Putting this book into practice day by day will substantially re-form the inner core of your life.”

Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline

“Gary Moon is a friend, a guide, and fellow apprentice. I know of few people with his passion or his clarity for the subject about which he speaks. I wish every follower of Jesus could have Gary’s wisdom on the most important subject in the world—where do we find life?”

John Ortberg, bestselling author; pastor,
Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

“Gary provides wise guidance for our journey toward Christ-likeness that is full of spiritual depth and good humor. What a delightful combination!”

Ruth Haley Barton, president, Transforming Center;
author, Sacred Rhythms

“Gary Moon’s Apprenticeship with Jesus is a well-written book with great stories, practical exercises, and special humor only Gary is capable of, plus deep biblical wisdom on learning to live like Jesus. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants to live as a true disciple of Christ.”

Siang-Yang Tan, Fuller Theological Seminary

“Gary Moon’s book is perfect for people striving to live and love like our Savior. With grace and beauty, Gary captures the wonder of our salvation, the challenge of our discipleship, and the thrill of transformation, and then follows with a practical guide for navigating this lifelong process. This book is a wonderfully practical tool for transformation.”

Eric Parks, Monvee co-creator
