Nice overall approach to helping people reach their potential in Christ. I mostly appreciated the emphasis on not merely putting off the old self, but on putting on Christ and advancing both personally and as a part of the body of Christ. The manuscript that I read could have used a better editor. A number of obvious errors affected the flow. In addition, from time to time the author seems to throw in a strange approach without fleshing it out. Overall a good effort, but falls short in too many areas.

Craig makes a simple truth, God has designed us to be disciples of Jesus, and presented it in a very complicated way. The book is repetitious! Verses are taken out of context to support his point and at times misquoted. There are more typos than I care to count. Do not waste your time and money on this book.

I completed the full School of Discipleship training in my church where we used this book for our study. This book is phenomenal and the 1yr 6mon discipleship classes were unbelievable.
