The Reluctant Disciple
by Robin Pou
A parable about reconciling business & faith
The Reluctant Disciple is a parable inspired by true events that author Robin Pou experienced on a mission trip to Kenya, Africa. On the second night of the trip, his group was held hostage by men armed with guns and machetes. The brutality of the evening and a miraculous rescue set the stage for the rest of Robin’s life by answering for him the age-old question: What’s the purpose of my life? Robin’s near-death experience was the start of a journey to reconcile his professional life and his faith, revealing his true mission field. If you’re in the business world you may also be asking, “Is this all there is?” Robin wrote The Reluctant Disciple to encourage you on your own journey to reconcile your professional life with your faith.
“If you are looking for meaning in this world, look no further than The Reluctant Disciple. Robin takes you on a journey to help you realize that God places you where you are for a reason. Enjoy the journey, find a quiet place, and listen to your heart as you read this life changing book.”
