"Life on the Road" The Gospel Basis for a Messianic Lifestyle - Athol Gill

RECOMMENDED READING

I first came across this book a few years ago and I read it at the time and was amazed that it still felt very contemporary. UNOH have just reprinted it and here it is in all it's glory. Im Just getting my way through this book again and I feel the need to recommend it. If you want to be challenged and encouraged at the same time. If you want a contextual way of looking at the gospels afresh. If you want to refresh you ideas of mission then this is the book for you. If you don't then leave this book well alone,  IT'S NOT FOR YOU.

Here it is…the original Aussie handbook for following Jesus; a seriously good guide to the Gospels – repackaged for disciples in the 21st Century.

Originally written in the 1980’s by one of Australia’s leading Bible teachers and Christian activists, Life on the Road remains a ground breaking book on Christian discipleship. The author, Athol Gill, was a pioneering pastor and Biblical scholar who founded a Christian Community called The House of the Gentle Bunyip in inner-city Melbourne which served the poor and disadvantaged. He inspired and equipped a generation of people, many of whom continue in Christian ministry and service throughout the world. Now the book is re-presented for the emerging generation of Jesus followers. It is a book even more relevant to today’s world than it was when first written. It is prophetic, provocative and practical. A must read for those who would follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

“Athol…did not hesitate to speak truth to power…not as a rebel, but as a disciple of the Gospel.”

Dr David Batstone, Not for Sale Campaign

“This profound manifesto for discipleship comes from one of Australian Christianity’s most prophetic voices and activists. The late Athol Gill was a man before his time, sacrificing and enduring much to enable these explorations of a deeper Gospel-living to be accessible for us.”

Ash Barker, Director of UNOH and author of Making Poverty Personal
