What does it mean to follow Jesus?
With The Radical Disciple John Stott issues his farewell address to the worldwide church he helped to shepherd through the twentieth century. He opens up what it means at root to be a follower of Jesus, exploring eight serious yet often neglected aspects of Christian discipleship.
Stott here conveys what he has displayed throughout his life: to follow Jesus is to let him direct the agenda for our lives. We don't set the parameters of his lordship or avoid the costs of our commitment. He calls. We follow.
The message of The Radical Disciple, like the witness of John Stott's life and ministry, is as simple, classic and personal as it is radical: Jesus is Lord.
