This is a farewell book by one of the giants of our generation. Writing at
the age of eighty-eight, John Stott calls his
readers to a life of whole-hearted Christian living and identifies eight
characteristics which he would like to see in every disciple of Jesus.
He highlights caring for creation as a neglected aspect of radical
discipleship, describing it as an expression of worship, “… since our care of
the creation will reflect our love for the Creator”.
The other seven chapters are on non-conformity, Christlikeness, maturity,
simplicity, balance, dependence and death.
“A rare and personal glimpse of the sacrificial discipleship that has
marked John Stott’s life so deeply.” Peter Harris
