Overview
Who does Jesus say is an ideal disciple? What does it mean to follow? What does it mean to lead and disciple others?
Today, discipleship is a standard subject for study in churches and groups. Seminars on discipleship abound, and there is no question of the importance of the subject. But when the lives of many Christians are put alongside the lifestyle Jesus prescribed for his disciples, and demonstrated Himself, there is a vast discrepancy. It is one thing to master the biblical principles of discipleship, but quite another to transform those principles into everyday life.
For years, J. Oswald Sanders has written books to inspire and encourage discipleship in the lives of Christians. This collection contains Spiritual Discipleship and the bestselling Spiritual Leadership, with half a million copies sold, and called “the best book on Christian leadership” by Charles Colson. These books outline the components of a life of discipleship, as well as the task of encouraging, equipping, and leading others. But Sanders is concerned not only with the mechanics of discipleship and leadership, but also with the standards—the underlying principles which are reflected in a lifestyle of submission to God.

Individual Titles
Most Christians desire a life that brings glory and honor to God. Yet few fully understand the absolute sacrifice that Christ asks of a true disciple.
In this revised edition, J. Oswald Sanders details the scriptural components of discipleship. Answering questions that range from descriptions of its elemental conditions to those regarding ambition and goals, Spiritual Discipleship stresses the need for putting others before oneself and a recognition of Christ's lordship.
Spiritual Discipleship is a must for any Christian who seeks a better understanding of the nature of servanthood. It provides probing insights into the biblical requirements for a disciple in the Lord’s service as well as study questions at the end of the text.
J. Oswald Sanders brings a fresh perspective to the meaning of discipleship. He challenges the conventional definitions and demands of discipleship and places them alongside the precepts and principles lived and taught by Jesus Christ in the Scripture.

With more than 500,000 in print, Spiritual Leadership has proven itself a timeless classic in teaching the principles of leadership. J. Oswald Sanders presents and illustrates those principles through biographies of eminent men of God—men such as Moses, Nehemiah, Paul, David Livingstone, and Charles Spurgeon.
Christianity needs a powerful voice in today's world. Such a voice can come only from strong leaders guided by God and devoted to Christ. Spiritual Leadership will encourage you to place your talents and powers at His disposal so you can become a leader used for His glory.
This edition of Spiritual Leadership has been completely revised. The language is updated with a modern flavor and a study guide has been added, designed as a tool to help you grow and successfully apply the principles in this classic book.
As a young pastor, J. Oswald Sanders' book Spiritual Leadership was the first book I read that awakened me to the subject of leadership. It started me on a 25-plus year journey of teaching leadership to pastors and lay people. No other book has influenced my life the way this one has.
—John C. Maxwell
Spiritual Leadership should be the constant companion of every undershepherd in the Savior's service. Most helpful is the fact that its emphasis is not on methods, but on character, passion, and godliness. I read it often to regrip the basic perspectives of my task, and have given it to the entire leadership team in our church.
——John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church
Spiritual Leadership is the best book I’ve read on Christian leadership.
——Erwin W. Lutzer, Senior Pastor, Moody Memorial Church
