So many of us avoid radical discipleship by being selective, choosing rather those areas in which commitment is appealing, and steering well clear of areas where it will be costly.

But because Jesus is Lord, we have no liberty to pick and choose.

The author looks at eight characteristics of Christian discipleship, which are commonly neglected yet deserve to be taken seriously.

John Stott is one of the world's leading and most loved Bible teachers, preachers, writers, pastors and mission-leaders. He is the author of many books including the best-selling "Basic Christianity". He is Rector Emeritus of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, President of the London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, and Founder-President of the Langham Partnership International. He was awarded the C.B.E. in the Queen's 2006 New Year honours.
