Foreword
There is no scarcity of books, tapes, and radio broadcasts on discipleship. But many of the popular Christian teachings on discipleship are extremely narrow. They tend to limit the call to follow Jesus Christ to one small spiritual compartment of life. In all the other compartments they unquestioningly let the culture call the shots.
