Publisher's Description
The good soil of our life is generated through the actions and habits of discipleship. Discipleship is the lifelong pursuit of learning to live a life under the guidance and care of God. We can live a life where we are guided and led by the perfect Father! We can experience the fruits of the good soil: a joy that goes beyond our circumstances, a peace that satisfies, work that is meaningful, and a love that abides. Unfortunately, in our culture the word "discipleship" has been misunderstood, misapplied, reduced, and in some cases used to manipulate serious men and women who desire to walk faithfully with the living God. The result is that many Christians live with an anemic understanding of discipleship, which limits their relationship with God, confuses their vocation, and keeps most Christians frustrated and on the periphery of the full Christian life. When discipleship is truly and fully engaged, what follows is an abundant life from God, full of gifts, challenges, meaning, and direction. This is the life I believe all Christians truly desire and I believe this book will help you move in that direction.

“Now more than ever, the church needs to take a long and deep look at what we expect as normative habits and rhythm of Christians. The Good Soil is a great start to this thoughtful discussion. Allen provides a solid mental framework to rejuvenate our commitment to the richness of Christian discipleship.”
“Allen offers you the rare combination of insights from a leader who is both passionate for healthy leaders while at the same time committed to build healthy structures and churches and organizations. We are in need of Good Soil in a day of change in order to see new expressions in and for Christ’s kingdom.”
