We are living in days when, as Mike Breen says, we are in a "discipleship crisis...in the Western Church". George Barna's studies have shown that there is currently no discernible difference between the lifestyles of many believers and non-believers. This is the reason for this book: to help you fulfill Jesus' command to "make disciples".

The book is helpful in (at least) two ways. First, the believer can and will grow spiritually by taking on the sessions, one at a time, to learn what it means to follow Jesus. These sessions are meant to be nothing less than opportunities for an encounter with the living Lord Himself. You can begin to monitor your own spiritual progress as Christ and His Book become more meaningful to you day by day. Secondly, the book is a guide to help a disciple-maker take a disciple through it step-by-step, so that together they can work through the stages of follow-up and the beginnings of discipleship. As Josh Hunt, a leading guru of the micro-church, says of the book, "This book will take you step-by-step in laying the foundation every Christian needs to live a fruitful, abundant Christian life".

Special attention is given to having assurance at three levels: Promise-Assurance from the guarantees of God's Word, Proof-Assurance from the evidences salvation gives in your life, and Personal Assurance from the Holy Spirit.

The book helps the disciple to learn the basic truths he or she will to know in order to stand strong as God's child. These include the claims of Christ on the believer, the attributes of God, the Trinity, the two natures of Christ, the Person and work of the Holy Spirit and living in His power. The book also seeks to inculcate the basic skills which a disciple needs to practice in order to be a growing, "self-feeding Christian", such as the need for a solid devotional life in prayer and the Word, a strategy for victory over temptation, the nature of biblical fellowship, how to go through suffering, how to study the Bible with clear understanding and how to share the Good News with others clearly and powerfully. In all, you have an effective method of spiritual growth for believers, plus a practical, effective tool for disciple-makers, for pastors and for churches and mission groups to use.
