Best book I read, is named LIKE CHRIST, by Andrew Murray. I really learned about His holiness and why we worship Him.
I was a street evangelist. We would invite the people we evangelized to a spaghetti dinner at the church young adults room.
Of course they were invited to church that Sunday. It was fun!! We'd tell stories, testimonies; watch the old Rapture movies. We prayed for everybody. No one went home without a prayer and a shoulder hug.
We did a reading from the Bible and everyone could comment what they thought it meant (like on here) Then the teacher would teach on it.
Sometimes we had meetings in each other's homes too. Just like the Book of Acts.
Great question, I believe the only way to Live like Christ is to be led by Christ, and that is the Holyspirit. We can't do that by effort, As Paul said in Romans 7:18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
We are his disciples, ( which means to follow someones teachings) We don't follow Him with observation, We follow him because we HEAR HIS VOICE!! This is with our inner ear and spiritually opened eyes. This is the NEW CREATURE WE HAVE BECOME IN CHRIST.
That is the difference between being under the law and being filled with the Spirit. Israel did not bare fruit under the law because the law could not produce fruit. This is why they was called a degenerate vine in Jeremiah 2:21.
This is why Jesus said I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:1.
And also: John 15:5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for ( WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING.)
This is why Jesus told his disciples to tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

I hope this helps.
God bless.
