Summary
Summary
What is a life of radical discipleship? At root, it means we let Jesus set the agenda of our lives. We aren't selective. We don't pick and choose what is congenial and stay away from what is costly. No. He is Lord of all of life. In the last book by the leading evangelical churchman of the twentieth century, John Stott opens up what it means at root to be a follower of Jesus. He explores eight aspects of Christian discipleship which are too often neglected and yet deserve to be taken seriously. Here, including the last public sermon he ever preached, Stott offers wisdom gained from a lifetime of consistent Christian commitment. In addition, he poignantly reflects on his last years of life and ministry. The message is simple, classic and personal: Jesus is Lord. He calls. We follow.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“While the writer’s unadorned prose, threaded with biblical references,
adheres to the essentials for Christianity orthodoxy, his deep concern
for the prophetic and evangelical dimensions of Christianity comes
through loud and clear.” —Publishers Weekly
“This slim volume is good reading, a lovely immersion into the truth of
God's revelation in scripture, full of wise words for those who find
themselves on a pilgrimage through a dark world towards a City filled
with divine light. The Radical Disciple is more like what I
imagine he might say to a young friend who is accompanying him to the
place of his retirement, and who has the chance to listen in on what
Stott is most exercised to pray for when he thinks of the church he has
served so faithfully for so many years. It isn’t the final word,
perhaps, but it’s a timely one, and a word of wisdom worth heeding.”
—Critique
“Considered a dean of evangelical leaders of the last half century,
Stott still deserves to be heard when he speaks. He continues to be
relevant in analyzing destructive philosophical and lifestyle trends. As
he approaches the end of his own life, he has provoking, yet comforting
thoughts regarding the deaths of believers…An emphatic yes for
church and Bible-college libraries.” —Church Libraries
“Stott’s writing is still crisp, cutting, and insightful, and his
life-long love and devotion to God comes through clearly in every word
of this challenging and encouraging book.” —Worship Leader
