• A good push in the right direction
  McDonald doesn't teach on making disciples in the same sense as Leroy Eims or Robert Coleman. Instead, he is describing the benefits of mobilizing the church to equip its members.

I strongly recommend this book to every Christian who longs to be a true follower of Christ... more info

The book is divided into two parts: six discipling relationships and six marks of a disciple. It correctly points out that being a disciple is based on relationships and on who a disciple is. McDonald weaves Scriptural insights and the wisdom of... more info
