Called and Committed: World-Changing Discipleship

by David Watson and David Christopher Knight Watson

Book Overview

Christ calls us to decisive discipleship...

but all too often we settle for flabby faith. "The vast majority of Western Christians," claims David Watson, "are church members, pew-fillers, hymn-singers, sermon-tasters, Bible-readers, even born-again believers or Spirit-filled charismatics, but not true disciples of Jesus.

One of Chip's Top Ten (wordsntone.com)

Discipleship is not just about memorizing verses, praying with a prayer partner, or participating in every church event scheduled by your church. Watson pointed me toward true life-affecting discipleship-both rare and shunned by modern Christians.

A "nust read" for anyone serious about disciplship.

My sister bought me this book about twenty years ago. I have read it many times at different stages in my Christian walk and always find fresh material on which to grow. This book made David Watson my favorite Christian author. This book is challenging to anyone at any stage. It looks not only at how to follow Jesus, but why and in what forums. His call, not only to the individual, but also the individual to the community is accurate and essential. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you want to start a disciplship program or study, this is the text!

solid

Very challenging and thought provoking. It is also a good source to refer back to. If you are teaching a class or working with someone on an individual basis, this is the book to use.

Called and Committed

This is one of the most challenging and exciting books I have ever read. David Watson pulls no punches in his study of discipleship. Many authors stop short of brining the full measure of accountability. Watson brings you to the place where true life changing decisions are made and encourages you to complete the process (no matter how it may challenge you). Watson is a modern day Watchman Nee.
