Dr. Geoffrey Plummer writes about Jesus's definitive statement in the Upper Room Discourse that begins with "If You Love Me..." (John 14:15). "If you love Me, you will obey My commandments," Jesus told the eleven remaining disciples.

What does Jesus mean when He uses that phrase with these men? Is He being manipulative with His statement or is there something deeper that He is communicating to His disciples? What does the statement mean for Christians today? Five positive signs based on biblical principles tell the story for all individuals who question their own status and the status of those around them: family, friends, and co-workers. The book guides the reader to evaluate themselves against these five signs to determine whether or not these positive signs are reflective of their character and practice. The book also guides and encourages committed Christians to pursue Active Discipleship: the practical, substantive level of discipleship that is transformational and infectious.
