Book on Biblical Discipleship

mab

I'm teaching on discipleship this Fall and was wondering what book or books are best on the subject of Biblical discipleship.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

The classic is of course Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship, though Bonhoeffer takes a bit of getting used to, and you'd need to be discerning in how you read it (his context is very different from ours). Other possibilities that I think you would find useful in teaching are:

• Practical
• What Is Discipleship?. Basics of the Faith
• Growing One Another: Discipleship in the Church
• The Radical Disciple: Wholehearted Christian Living
• Disciples Indeed
• The Practice of Godliness
• A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life
• Academic
• Patterns of Discipleship in the New Testament
