Basic Christianity
Ratings11
Average rating3.7
"We must commit ourselves, heart and mind, soul and will, personally and unreservedly, to Jesus Christ. We must humble ourselves before him. We must trust him as our Savior and submit to him as our Lord; and then go on to take our place as loyal members of the church and responsible citizens in the community. This is basic Christianity, the theme of this book." With these words, world-renowned preacher John Stott embarks on a compelling study that first defends the basic claims of Christianity and then defines the proper outworkings of those main beliefs in the daily lives of believers. --from publisher description

Really good read. A bit theologically dense for 'basic Christianity' and does have some allusions for needing bible knowledge beforehand.
Short Review: A book of basic discipleship. Not apologetics or evangelism as much as teaching. It is interesting to compare this to Radical Discipleship that was written 50 years later. This is a much more traditional presentation of basic discipleship. It was good, but it does feel dated. I think Radical Disciple is better.
