“In a time of increasing biblical illiteracy and conformity to the prevailing culture, Rice Broocks and Steve Murrell are calling Christians to a higher standard. If every Christian were to go through The Purple Book and prayerfully study it, I truly believe we would see Christians rising up and living the gospel with both clarity and power. I highly recommend this book for both individual and group study. SEAN McDOWELL, Ph.D., Professor at Biola University, popular speaker, and author of more than fifteen books, including A New Kind of Apologist I have done The Purple Book and know firsthand what an important discipleship tool it is. It gave me greater clarity on the importance of a strong biblical foundation and how to communicate that to others. It has been a joy to work in ministry with Rice and Steve and to witness its impact on lives around the world.”

“The Purple Book is a compelling, comprehensive manual full of important information and biblical lessons that will help build a strong foundation in Christ. It is written by a dynamic duo of spiritual fathers who have raised a multitude of disciples who are now impacting almost every nation of the world. A must-read guide for anyone committed to building strong disciples. BISHOP EFRAIM M. TENDERO, Secretary General / CEO of the World Evangelical Alliance The Purple Book was a godsend to our church at a pivotal time—we needed a simple biblical resource to give to every person in our congregation to help shape the culture of discipleship. We have used thousands of these little books, and I tell pastors that it’s the best resource ever for all people to use.”
Dr. Frank Damazio
“No aid, which has as its goal to establish biblical foundations in a person (or church’s life), exceeds the simplicity or effectiveness of The Purple Book. Seldom a week passes when I have failed to help somebody better endure the storms of life by employing this study. It is the best and most often used tool in my ministry toolbox.”
“A foundational book on Christian doctrines, coming from reflective practitioners of movement discipleship. Tried, tested, and proven by Christians from all walks of life. The Purple Book is a Bible study guide on biblical faith; one that is faithful to Christian orthodoxy while emphasizing the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. Useful, handy, and recommended for every Christ follower!”
