Being Disciples: Essentials of the Christian Life

<DIV><I>Basic instruction in Christian discipleship from one of the world’s greatest living theologians</I><BR />  <BR />  “Discipleship,” says Rowan Williams in this companion to his best-selling <I>Being Christian,</I> “is a state of being. Discipleship is about how we live; not just the decisions we make, not just the things we believe, but a state of being.”<BR />  <BR /> Having covered baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and prayer in <I>Being Christian</I>, Williams turns his attention in this book to what is required for us to continue following Jesus and growing in faith. The book has six succinct chapters:<ol><li>Being Disciples</li><li>Faith, Hope, and Love</li><li>Forgiveness</li><li>Holiness</li><li>Faith in Society</li><li>Life in the Spirit</li></ol> <BR /> In his typically gentle, inviting, pastoral writing style, Williams offers biblically grounded wisdom for Christians at all stages of their journeys as disciples of Jesus.<BR />  </DIV>
