Radical Disciple by John
Stott 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. John Stott looks at
eight characteristics of Christian discipleship,
which are commonly neglected yet deserve to be taken
seriously. [Buy

Mahaney
The 'Cross Centred Life' is an
excellent place to start Christian reading for a
number of reasons. First, the book is short! Many
people start numerous books only to lose interest
after a few chapters. This book is only 85 small
pages long and can be easily read in an hour or two.
Brevity is not the only attraction however, Mahaney
(Pastor of Covenant Life Church in Washington DC)
writes clearly, passionately and practically, about
leading a life that is centred on the reality of the
cross. 'We are all living lies centred on something.
But what is the right thing?' This is what Mahaney
asks as he applies gospel principles not only to
salvation but to the nuts and bolts of everyday
life. [Buy
