Synopsis "The Disciple: Volume 2"

How can Christians effectively engage today's world while staying true to Scripture? Calling us to listen well to both the Word and the world, John Stott shows how Christianity can preserve its authentic identity and remain relevant to current realities. With the God's Word for Today series, pastor Tim Chester has updated Stott's classic book The Contemporary Christian and made it accessible to new generations of readers. In The Disciple, Stott explores four often-neglected aspects of Christian discipleship in light of Scripture. First, followers of Jesus should be good listeners--to God, one another, and the world. Second, both the mind and emotions have an indispensable place in discipleship, and we should understand how they relate to each other. Third, how do we discover God's will for our lives, and what does the Bible tell us about guidance, vocation, and ministry? Finally, the primary distinguishing mark of a Christian is the first fruit of the Spirit: love. Following Christ encompasses all of life, and today's world desperately needs disciples who embrace their full God-given potential.

John Robert Walmsley Stott (April 27, 1921 – July 27, 2011) was an influential British theologian and Anglican minister, recognized as one of the most prominent figures in the global evangelical movement of the 20th century. His legacy includes more than 50 books translated into over 65 languages, among which Basic Christianity (1958) and The Cross of Christ (1986) stand out, works that have left a profound mark on contemporary Christian theology

Stott studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he earned a double degree in French and German, and then trained for ministry at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. He was ordained a deacon in 1945 and a priest in 1946, beginning his ministry at All Souls Church, Langham Place, in London, where he served as rector from 1950 to 1975

In 1974, he was one of the main authors of the Lausanne Covenant, a key document in the history of global evangelism. Additionally, he founded the Langham Partnership in 2002, an organization dedicated to training Christian leaders in the developing world

Stott was recognized for his expository clarity and commitment to faithful biblical preaching. In 2005, Time magazine included him in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 90, leaving a lasting legacy in the global church
