Thought provoking and challenging, this easy to read and understand book comes with wise words from the end of John Stott's writing ministry. An excellent place to start, even if you've never read any of Stott's books before, this short, highly readable book challenges you to know Christ and to live out your faith.

In eight distinctive ways, the loved and respected thinker and writer gives his profoundly moving insight into God's purposes through these hand-picked characteristics of Christian discipleship. In his straightforward style he discusses: non-conformity to the world, Christ-likeness, maturity in Jesus Christ, creation-care, simplicity, life balance, God dependence and the Christian perspective on death.

Each is touched on lightly and briefly, but with all the hallmarks of Stott's vintage prose and pithy clarity of thought.
