Book Overview

In the aftermath of the waves of discipleship programs that have swept over the church in the last 30 years, clergy, and laypersons alike are more confused than ever about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. What should a disciple of Jesus look and act like today? What is the relationship between discipleship and salvation, between discipleship and sanctification, between discipleship and ministry?

Good Summary of Discipleship

As others wrote, this book could have been a little shorter. However, his overview of biblical discipleship is excellent. I think the great strength of this book is the emphasis on defining discipleship as involving both cost and commitment. Every follower of Christ is a disciple. I'm not sure if that makes him a "lordship salvation" guy or not, but I think that he takes a biblical approach.

Good purchase

The book was in good condition. I've found a word written in the margin of one page, but other than that, it is great.

In the right direction...

As another reviewer mentioned, this book is solid exegetically but it contains redundant information and is essentially too large as is. That said, his analysis of extant discipleship models relative to a careful biblical theological exposition of the nuances of discipleship (e.g. faithfulness to the individual Gospels narrative and theological grid) is worth the price. The first 7 chapters alone make it a solid discipleship tool, and chapters 17-18 rounds out the book.
