Discipleship

This book comes out of experience, with real churches and the people who make them up. Alex Jacob presents Christian discipleship, not as a formula or a fix, but as a steady, thoughtful commitment to live a Jesus-shaped life in our own corner of God's world. The writing is clear and honest, and the chapters are helpfully bite-sized. Here is a wise author to learn with, and a resource that is well worth using. John Proctor. Director of New Testament Studies, Westminster College Cambridge (1986-2014) and United Reformed Church General Secretary (2014-2020). This is a thoughtful book on discipleship for thoughtful people! I gladly recommend it to those who are leading other people on the discipleship journey and any individuals who are serious about growing as disciples of Jesus. Stephen Gaukroger. Director of Clarion Trust International and President of the Baptist Union of Great Britian (1994-1995). In Discipleship, Alex Jacob brings the richness of Biblical insight and the logic of a sequence of steps to nourish and nurture readers' Christian life. As a companion with him on the Way, I know Alex writes of what he lives. I think many will find encouragement here, as they journey through the steps, and on reaching the tenth, are inspired to keep on going. Nigel Uden. Minister of Fulbourn and Downing Place Cambridge and Moderator of United Reformed Church General Assembly (2018-2020). Having had the privilege of Alex's support in my ministry for over ten years, his heart for Jesus and discipleship of His followers is unquestionable. This is obvious throughout the ten-step study. I love that this study is Jesus focused and continuously focused on Scripture. The points to consider after each chapter are inspired. An all-round excellent book that will be a useful tool for every believer in Jesus. Chris Kemshell. Pastor of Linton Free Church and author of 'Cancer and the Cross' (2023).
