description: What is a life of radical discipleship? At the 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 to truly be a follower of Jesus. In a refreshing and accesible style he explores eight aspects of Christian discipleship which are too often neglected and yet deserve to be taken seriously: non-conformity Christ-likeness maturity creation-care simplicity balance dependence and death. 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.
