Every Christian is called to be a disciple, but do we realize this And what does it mean? Peter Maiden, after a lifetime of discipleship, shows from his own struggles and experiences that the life of discipleship is a life of relationship - a love between us and Jesus. We are called to servant hood, to being wise in the use of time and money. Then there are things we can do to help ourselves: the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study, fasting; and things we can do to help each other, as church communities. Finally, he looks at what it is all for - mission - and who it is all for - Jesus. Here is a book that will help all of us find what our hearts are longing for life as an authentic follower of Jesus. Joseph M. Stowell, Harvest Bible Chapel, Chicago An extremely important book because it gives a full biblical picture of what it means to be a disciple of Christ a pleasure to read. Ajith Fernando, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka Here is a passionate call to discipleship, with biblical standards to inspire us and honest realism to encourage us. Jonathan Lamb, Langham Partnership International
