Blaine Vorster
Loving Like Jesus
Loving Like Jesus is an inspirational guidebook for those who want to model their lives on the love, inclusivity, and tolerance of Jesus Christ.
In an increasingly divisive world, the societal push is to become more tolerant. Does the church need to adapt to the twenty-first century and become more progressive? What would Jesus do?
Faced with modern challenges and questions about love, inclusivity, and tolerance, those who want to follow the example of Jesus need to carefully inspect his teaching and modeling for answers. In an examination of Jesus’s words and actions in the Gospel of John, Blaine Vorster contrasts Jesus’s example with the narrative of love and tolerance being promoted by Progressive Christianity.
Loving Like Jesus offers a refreshing take on the tie-in between faith and social justice, perfect for those who search for truth and desire to honor the authentic Jesus.

Faith to Move to the Mountains
Foreword for Faith to Move to the Mountains
Bob Goff was once asked to write his autobiography in only six words. He wrote, ‘What if we were less afraid?’ These same six words are perhaps an apt summary of Blaine Vorster’s magnificent telling of the faith journey he and his family undertook in less than a decade.
Blaine used to pastor my kids at Hatfield Christian School. They would regularly climb into the car at the end of a school day, and our ride home would consist of them regaling me with hilarious anecdotes from that morning’s chapel service. I got to know the gentle, thoughtful, serious side of Blaine when we were both part of a team facilitating a relationship training seminar for teenagers. I was blown away by his kindness and humility. Little did I know, as I listened to him navigate the most controversial of topics with theological discretion, grace and wisdom way beyond his years, that he and Olivia were living through much of the trauma and triumph recorded in this book.
Blaine is a fantastic storyteller. He writes with engaging honesty, humour, and authenticity about learning to trust God despite uncertainty, setbacks, and pain. He doesn’t play down the suffering inevitably part of life in a broken world. Rather, he offers us, his readers, clarity, freedom, and an inspiring perspective on the ways God lovingly and rigorously works out His purposes in us and through us.
Faith to Move to the Mountains will show you the beauty, simplicity and effectiveness of lives surrendered entirely to Jesus. Most of all, it will show you the Father, which, as Philip said, is enough (John 14:8). You won’t be able to put this book down until it’s done, but when you do, you’ll find it’s put faith and fire in your heart.
