What first led me to write a book on discipleship is the compelling force to pass on something to this generation, things the Lord has taught and exposed me to over the years, things that are not of doctrine but of life. The second is that people from various churches go through discipleship and mission training in CAPRO offices in different cities and we do not have materi- als to give them that are concise and written in the context of our environment. The third reason is closely related to the second. We teach these things, espe- cially, the course, 'Call to Discipleship' as churches invite...
What first led me to write a book on discipleship is the compelling force to pass on something to this generation, things the Lord has taught and exposed me to over the years, things that are not of doctrine but of life. The second is that people from various churches go through discipleship and mission training in CAPRO offices in different cities and we do not have materi- als to give them that are concise and written in the context of our environment. The third reason is closely related to the second. We teach these things, espe- cially, the course, 'Call to Discipleship' as churches invite us to run training on discipleship and missions, and we have no materials to leave behind for them to read. This demand provoked me to work on this book. The fourth reason stems from a commission we received from a Christian leader, to publish the truth and scatter it everywhere as certain men are spreading a message that is not really the Gospel. One effective way to 'contend for the faith, which was once delivered to the saints' is to keep publishing the truth. What we speak may be forgotten soon after we had left a meeting but what is published will last several generations. I have faith that several years after I might have gone, if the Lord tarries, someone will find this little book, may be, covered with dust, and republish it to contend the violence that will be unleashed against the Church. Except the Lord does something speedily, the coming years will be one of the worst for the Church. I am praying within me that this book will be part of God's reserved army to resist the force of evil in days ahead. It is my prayer that through this book, this purpose will be accomplished, as well as meet the need of our Lord today in raising instruments of war out of His many children who have seen it fit to walk this path. It is for these reasons that this book is written. May God bless it and turn it into 'a live coal in his hand' and burn it into the hearts of our readers! Amen!
