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.

Casey says:
At the age of 87, widely read evangelical Anglican pastor John Stott offers us his final words and (literally) lays down his pen with The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling. These are his parting thoughts as he retires from public ministry. Stott describes "eight characteristics of a Christian discipleship that are often neglected and yet deserve to be taken seriously"... Read more
