This two-volume discipleship process is designed to engage new believers or believers who’ve never been discipled in discussion with disciple-makers for one year (each volume covers 15 weeks). The first volume dives deep into what the gospel is, laying a foundation for understanding the meta-narrative of Scripture. The second volume covers how that rich understanding of the gospel impacts the life of a disciple of Jesus.
