Couverture / Jaquette

A book with a vital message about Christian discipleship, provoking its readers to think about the revolutionary demands and consequences of being one of Jesus' apprentices. The author questions assumptions and challenges dumbed-down theology and practice. Refreshing, helpful and challenging by turn, the style is clear and readable. The book is packed with a lifetime of vision, passion, experience and wisdom. It challenges the reader to nurture disciples, not merely to make converts, and it's packed with thoughtful and in-depth studies of selected Bible passages, enlightened by a wide range of literature.Throughout is the plea for disciples to be learning about their faith as the first disciples did from Jesus, and being enabled to live it in their own spheres and communities rather than being sucked into endless activities that keep religious institutions going. It's a book for a moment in history when the future of the Church lies in the quality of life demonstrated by Christ's disciples.
