It is rare when a respected friend writes something you like so much that you think, I could have written that! The famous theologian Karl Barth commented on the first chapter of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s classic book, The Cost of Discipleship. He said that it was so good that he wouldn’t attempt to edit it, he would just copy it word for word. That is the way I feel about Robby’s introduction and comments on the need for a more robust gospel that includes discipleship as natural part of what it means to be saved. Gallaty’s work is getting deeper and deeper.
