"That discipleship is a frontier issue in our day is now being widely recognized. Read this book, get others to join you, and then step back and watch the sparks fly!"-Michael Frost, coauthor of The Shaping of Things to Come The inclusion of a study guide in this new edition makes it an even more valuable resource.
