Revd Guy Donegan-Cross is currently Enabler of Learning for Discipleship and Mission for Church of England Birmingham, where he has responsibility for resourcing a culture of discipleship across a hugely diverse area. He has engaged in parish ministry in four different contexts, most recently leading St Mark’s, Harrogate. He is chair of the Simeon’s patronage trust, with responsibility for the patronage of 180 livings across England. He is passionate about discipleship, the relationship between charismatic and contemplative spirituality, and political and environmental concerns. He loves amateur dramatics, improvisation, live music, novels, walking, jazz, and his Norfolk Terrier Bess.

‘As Jesus-followers we are certainly called to be disciples… Guy’s new books are a fantastic, wise and highly readable resource exploring why we might want to consider the call to discipleship, and how we might intentionally jump into this life-giving adventure.’ The Revd Ali Herbert, head of discipleship, Gas Street Church, Birmingham

‘Start this Way is an outstanding summary of the challenges, experi- ences and practices of those who want to be apprentices of Jesus. It is honest and practical, culturally sensitive and rooted in scripture.’ Phil Knox, evangelist, author and missiologist, Evangelical Alliance

‘It is a book full of joy and pragmatic realities that are excellent for novice and experienced disciples. It is a reminder, affirmation, and framework of their journey, full of scripture, personal stories and profound truths handed down through the ages.’ The Revd Canon Dr Sharon Prentis, deputy director, Church of England racial justice unit

‘This book is a treasure trove of wisdom, offering practical insights for living as a Christian disciple. Donegan-Cross blends personal stories, biblical teachings and actionable advice, making it essential for both new and seasoned believers… May it inspire you to embrace Jesus’ abundant life and walk confidently as his disciples.’ The Rt Revd Saju Muthalaly, bishop of Loughborough

‘Such a clear, engaging and helpful exploration of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus today.’ James Lawrence, CPAS leadership champion

‘What is a “missionary disciple”? And how can I become one? In these highly accessible and practical books, Guy invites all of us on to the journey and gives us a map and a compass. ’ The Revd Stephen Hance, dean of Toronto

Coming from an evangelical and charismatic background, Tony Horsfall felt an increasing desire to know God more deeply. At the same time, he felt an increasing dissatisfaction with his own spiritual life, as well as concern at the number of highly qualified and gifted people involved in Christian ministry who experience burn-out. In this book he shows how contemplative spirituality, with its emphasis on realising our identity as God's beloved children and on being rather than doing, has vital lessons for us about discovering intimacy with God.
