Readable, practical, comprehensive in its scope, and global in its vision, this book gives us a challenging and winsome call to authentic discipleship. It is rich in both biblical reflection and practical application, but perhaps its most important feature is that it is written by a man who lives what he teaches. - John Risbridger, Minister and Team Leader of Above Bar Church, Southampton; Chair of Keswick Ministries

The best way to grow as a disciple of Jesus is to share your life with an experienced and godly Christian. In Discipleship Matters Peter Maiden offers the next best thing, as he invites you to join him as he describes his walk with God. The result is both engagingly personal and resolutely biblical. It's a delight to read. But beware: it's also an exciting challenge. - Tim Chester, Director of Porterbrook Seminary and a pastor with The Crowded House

'Cutting edge, relevant and a must-read, by someone I have watched and known well over the last forty-five years, and who walks his talk. What a valuable experience to sit at his feet and learn from this great book based on the BOOK of BOOKS.'  
\- George Verwer, Founder of Operation Mobilisation

An honest and counter cultural look at the Bible's teaching on discipleship, and how we find deep joy as we consider Jesus

\["Want a crystel-clear look at discipleship?","Softening no blows, this book is an honest account of the cost of following Christ","You'll discover the narrow path to a deeper life as a disciple"\]

Gordon Price

So refreshing to read what true discipleship costs, often this is not shared at an altar call ! Our salvation cost Jesus Christ His life and true discipleship is a willingness to lose ours for the sake of the gospel!
