The Radical Disciple: Some Neglected Aspects of Our Calling

Short review: This is John Stott's last book. He focuses on discipleship as an elder disciple. This is a very unpretentious book. I think it is the most readable of Stott's books that I have read. It is very humble in tone and consciously speaking as a last chance to talk.

The best chapter was the one on dependence. I do not think I have read another treatment on dependence quite like it. Stott shows that dependence, the created order of humanity is not to be avoided but embraced. So as children we are dependent of people for everything. Then we gain independence and others gradually depend on us. Most of us then age and we lose faculties and become more dependent. As a man that is almost 90 and in failing health he is speaking from experience.

As with all of Stott's books, this is a very biblical book. I highly recommend it.
