A unique and comprehensive analysis of all the commands of Jesus, grouped and summarised into a simple-to-remember form of three high-level and nine lower-level themes. This reference source for pastors and teachers presents a comprehensive biblical foundation to address our (the church’s) ‘failure’ to teach disciples to obey all the commands of Jesus.A detailed analysis of all of the commands of Jesus in the New Testament forms the basis for this work, grouping and summarising them into twelve themes that collectively present over eighty distinct commands (Kingdom Behaviours).The main material is grouped under three Kingdom Fundamental headings. Two are outward focused - commands that relate to our need to ‘Love God’ and the requirement to ‘Love Your Neighbour As Yourself’. The third addresses commands directed at our inner motivations and behaviours as individuals, under the Kingdom Fundamental title ‘Follow Jesus’.Each chapter includes Kingdom Practice sub-sections: two under ‘Love God’, four under ‘Follow Jesus’ and three under ‘Love Your Neighbour As Yourself’.At the lowest level (Kingdom Behaviours), related commands of Jesus are quoted, with any parallel biblical texts highlighted. Diagrams are included throughout to build and demonstrate the simple structure that is the focus of this material.This is for anyone with an interest in Jesus’s teaching. Above all, those who are discipling fellow followers of Jesus and/or simply want to understand how Jesus’s commands can be grouped into a simple to remember structure.

Duncan had a long-term career in technical and then management consultancy rising to the most senior consulting rank of Director within a leading UK Consulting firm. For more than 20 years he focused on the analysis and structuring of data to draw out meaningful information and insights. He then structured this to deliver clear, value adding, easy to understand client reports, articles, and conference papers. Duncan has applied this capability to create this unique perspective on all the commands of Jesus in these books - targeted at helping readers to become more intentional disciples by understanding and then putting into practice the key messages from Jesus's teaching. Duncan also gained extensive experience of project specification, procurement, and management in the transport and information technology sectors and worked for British and foreign Government Departments and international institutions. He became a respected transport sector thought leader with over 18 years in that field. His career began with an Aircraft Engineering Apprenticeship after which he obtained an MSc degree and, subsequently, a postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies (with Distinction). He 'retired' early in 2014 and quickly became involved as a volunteer with an international missions organisation where he is currently part of the London team. Duncan has been married since 1985 and both his father and grandfather were Christian ministers. They have one son and daughter-in-law (and two young grandsons) who are in ministry with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in the UK. Duncan became a follower of Jesus in 1987 and has been an Elder in one fellowship and is currently a Deacon in his home Baptist church where he has oversight of Safeguarding and leads the World-Wide Missions Team.

As daughter of missionary parents, award-winning author and journalist Jeanette Windle grew up in the rural villages, jungles, and mountains of Colombia, now guerrilla hot zones.
