348 pages. Imagine you landed on an island with inhabitants who knew nothing about God, Jesus, or Scripture. How would you engage, evangelize, and disciple them? Do you have the ability to help them understand the concepts related to the gospel message? Can you address the barriers that are keeping some of them from believing the gospel and trusting in Christ? Could you help new believers to continue the presence, mission, and teachings of Jesus through the equipping and maturating process of discipleship? Providing answers that address these challenging questions is what this book is all about.
