Description
Book SynopsisThe aim of this little book is simple: to help you to see more clearly, love more dearly and follow more nearly the way of Jesus Christ.
Trade ReviewHere is quite the most beautiful writing on discipleship I know. I am grateful for the inspiration that I find in these pages. I commend it to those who have been on this journey a long time, as well as to anyone who wonders what on earth following Jesus is all about. * Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury *
Whether you are just starting to explore the Christian faith, or have been a follower of Jesus for years, here is an essential guide for the journey. Drawing deeply on scripture and on inspiring stories of fellow travellers, Rowan Williams writes with a gentle strength that witnesses to the joy to be found in being disciples of Jesus. * Kate Bottley, Gogglebox vicar, writer, broadcaster and parish priest *
In this gentle and challenging book, Rowan Williams gives us both a clear explanation of what discipleship is and a stirring vision of what our discipleship can do. It is a beautifully crafted book that gives the reader real food for thought and sustenance for the journey . . . Each chapter would make for wonderful house group discussion material. * Jude Levermore, Head of Discipleship & Ministries, The Methodist Church *
Rowan Williams is one of the great theologians of our time. He is also an inspiring teacher whose godly wisdom helps us understand profound truths. * Nicky Gumbel, Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton and pioneer of the Alpha Course *
A wonderful book. . . It perfectly encapsulates the well-worn phrase "simplicity on the other side of complexity", which makes it accessible as well as heart-warming. . . This gem of a book is clearly born of the authors own deep love for Jesus Himself. * Eleanor Mumford, founder of Vineyard Churches, UK and Ireland *
If discipleship is a journey, this book belongs in the rucksack. . . Like the scriptures on which it is based, it deserves repeated reading. * Stephen Cherry, Dean of Kings College, Cambridge *
I finished the book with slight surprise: being disciples seems do-able, even with the challenges! I hope this book will be read and shared so that others may be encouraged in being disciples. -- Dr Anne Spalding a member of the Third Order of the Society of St Francis * Church Times *
A rich treasure trove. * Theology *
