"Virtually every evangelical church talks about discipleship or uses some form of 'disciple' in articulating their mission. I have found few, however, that are effectively engaging their men in the type of discipling that Joe discusses in his book. His assessment of the obstacles, and ways to truly establish discipling relationships is clear, concise, and compelling. Every church that seeks to actualize the Great Commission would be well-advised to give this book to all of their men."
--Joe Smith, President, Strengthening the Church

"With so many books on discipleship being written, do men really need one more? Well, they do need a discipleship book that doesn't rehash much of the same content, which is why men would do well to pick this up. In many ways, this is unlike most discipleship books. It imparts passion (like most) and encourages leadership (also like most), but this book provides men with a clear direction that many seem to lack. I plan to get this in the hands of my friends and work through it together."
--John Perritt, Director of Resources, Reformed Youth Ministries, Ridgeland, Mississippi
