Book Reviews
This book gives flesh and blood, hands and feet, to the sometimes abstract concept of discipleship. By summarizing what we know about the first disciples, exposing their foibles and allowing us to enter into their struggles, Hulitt Gloer teaches lessons on discipleship in biographical form. For those who are serious about their own discipleship, this book offers enjoyable and profitable reading.
