Five marks confirm our identity as genuine and fruitful followers of Christ:

  1. A Methodist Loves God

  2. A Methodist Rejoices in God

  3. A Methodist Gives Thanks

  4. A Methodist Prays Constantly

  5. A Methodist Loves Others

This brief book, suitable for sharing with others, provides a meditation on each of these characteristics.  Prayerfully apply them to your journey with Jesus. If you are part of the worldwide Methodist or Wesleyan family, these five marks will grant a greater knowledge and appreciation for why and how you follow Jesus. If you are located in another part of the body of Christ, you can emerge with a solid foundation to keep your spiritual house standing strong. Christians marked by these five habits, when taken together, have character.

Each chapter ends with questions for reflection or discussion.

“Steve Harper goes to the very heart of faithfulness as he describes and then calls upon all those who follow Wesley to live. It is lives of integrity that are the result of following these marks. Harper rightly says this will give the ring of truth to our daily living. He then goes on to identify the “marks” or “practices” that when followed will result in a life of righteousness, goodness, peace, and joy. It is a way of living in God’s gracious presence that he encourages for everyone, and it is a way of living I choose for myself.”

—Rueben P. Job, author of Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living
