★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. J. T. English offers a pastor's retrospective of ways that The Village Church in Dallas has approached the calling and formation of disciples of Jesus. Embracing the mission of God for the Church, to make fully-formed disciples of Christ, English explores God's vision for discipleship and examines what most churches are missing.
Under broad categories of space, scope, sequence, sending, and strategy, the author offers a model with practical examples of how his congregation has intentionally brought people into the family of God and helped them to mature in faith.
Helpful for pastors, lay leaders and boards, and small group leaders. This examination of the outcomes of a deep discipleship process versus a hospital nursery model (birth them and send them on their way) is thought-provoking and stimulating. Recommended.
