A plan people can put into practice
“Most Christians do not disciple because they do not have a plan. In my experience with The Four Priorities, this is a well-written plan that works.”
Bob Schuemann
The Gathering, Palm Beach County
“A great road map for the discipleship journey. Simple, practical, relational, transferable. We use it. Highly recommend it.”
Richard Ellis
Senior Pastor, Reunion Church
“One of the best books they have ever had the privilege of using to help them grow and mature in the Word.”
