In an age when biblical discipleship appears to be waning, four current and former church elders call for spiritual renewal through restoring the ancient faith, practices, and ethos of the first Christians. The writers offer fresh, practical insights about spiritual renewal, sharing observations concerning the personal, communal, and societal aspects of discipleship.

While the writers share a common spiritual heritage among Churches of Christ, they bring diverse perspectives gained from living and working in Asia, Australia, and America. Even as the book emits different voices, the underlying conviction is unmistakable: authentic disciples are those who abide in Christ, are empowered by the Holy Spirit, and glorify the Father by demonstrating fidelity to Scripture.
