John Stott's legacy of faithful Christian discipleship continues to impact Christians on every continent and in every sphere of life. This book pays homage to that legacy and to Stott's unwavering commitment to Christ's transformative Lordship over all facets of existence, especially those we may find particularly convenient to ignore. In this collection of essays, integral mission scholars and practitioners from around the world - many of whom knew John Stott personally and worked with him extensively - reflect on several of the concerns that developed and deepened over the course of Stott's life, reminding us that Christian obedience must include caring for God's creation, engaging in social action and advocacy, and supporting church leadership of the Majority World. Living Radical Discipleship calls us to repentance, to recommitment, and to wholehearted discipleship.
