The greatest resources on discipleship are developed within the church by people who love Christ and His bride. With the clarity of an experienced veteran, Chris has identified the challenges before the church. The principles he presents have been developed, field-tested and proven by a person who knows what it means to lead discipleship groups as both a lay leader and a pastor.
