More than Conquerors: A call to radical discipleship
Get the resource >
More Than Conquerors is a call to radical discipleship. Although it describes the life of faith as an exciting adventure, it also warns us that to be an authentic follower of Jesus involves rejecting the comfortable cross of contemporary Western Christianity. This is the only way to experience life to the full – which is the reason we were created!

Really good. The DVD is imaginative and well-produced video with Simon exploring the topic. Shot in often beautiful African locations, active and engaging.
DVD and questions can be used easily without the book.
DVD insert contains searching and challenging questions for each session. Hard-hitting yet also realistic about how life really is, so a great balance of challenge and encouragement. Book: explores similar issues to the DVD, based on biblical material and including illustrations of principles from Guillebaud's own experience, and that of many Christian ‘heroes'. No questions.
A leader with some experience of group facilitation. Shouldn't be hard to get reactions and discussion going, but these are the big questions of life and faith.
No separate resources. They may like to get the book to explore the issues in more depth.
Imaginative, memorable and well-produced video with Guillebaud exploring the topic. Shot in often beautiful African locations, active, moving and engaging, from bungee jumping and mountain climbing to local schools and villages. Some scenes are distressing but warning appears first.
Watching the videos would be essential to prepare for the challenging material. And they are very good. Printing out the questions might be helpful. If using the book too, read the chapter.
There is a website with some extra information about the author, makers of the DVD, and Guillebaud's charity. DVDs and book available from here, plus other material from the same author.
No, although the book was first printed in 2006 so some statistics are out of date.
These videos go straight for the heart of the adventure and reality of radical discipleship, so the material and questions should stimulate honest and real discussions among the group.
Engaging videos. Then discussion-based. No other material.
Should appeal to a wide audience in terms of age and experience. Really good for inspiring young people to make choices for life and the future. Especially great for boys – Guillebaud is a gutsy role model.
Overall inspiration and applied questions which ask for a response on a personal and community level.
DVD: Each topic is earthed in biblical material by means of one or two relevant passages. In the book, discussion on the topics is centred round biblical material.
Theme and biblical passage are based on each other, with one or two questions engaging directly with the Bible passage. Personal applications encouraged.
All well connected in to the topic.
Evangelical.
Guillebaud communicates a picture of lives ‘sold out' and utterly given to God, defining the whole of life, out of love and gratitude.
Deeply challenging, and the questions dig into applying the principles personally.
Sobering situations explored in the videos matched with challenging questions. No punches pulled.
An impressive strength of this material.
Implicit in call to radical discipleship, and focus of one topic.
Principles of living a as radical disciples and responding to issues wherever you are.
Topics connect intimately with crucial and ongoing issues, with ideas and inspiration for changing the world, one step at a time. Great examples of Christian engaging with issues of justice and acting in Jesus' name. Encouragement to ‘pick a fight' that matters to you.
Implicit in call to radical discipleship, in topic ‘Are you ready?' and in the example of Guillebaud himself.
