Centering Discipleship

Church Leadership & Ministry

“E. K. Strawser's book Centering Discipleship is relevant and prophetic. In the Western world, modern church growth has unfortunately become identified by an increase in numbers, while discipleship is a catchy phrase with limited emphasis in the life of the congregation. No wonder: discipleship is hard work and requires patience, perseverance, and time. Strawser's stories about how she implemented the five discipleship core essentials should be an encouragement to any pastoral team committed to the same principles that Jesus used in his ministry to develop his disciples. I hope that many church leaders will read this book and determine how to contextualize these principles in their own setting.”

One Body, One Spirit

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading George Yancey's new book, One Body, One Spirit. I find this work to be extremely scholarly, helpful and inspiring. The book is a must for anyone interested in starting a multiracial ministry or concerned about race relations in the church. I have known George for a number of years and have seen his love for Christ and his dedication to the touchy issues of racial reconciliation. One Body, One Spirit will be a welcome resource for anyone who has made the courageous decision to go on this journey.”
