I used this book as the curriculum for my discipleship group. Our goal was to become better disciple makers, and I think the book did a descent job of preparing us for this journey. Towards the end, it got a little tedious, like maybe the authors only had 150 pages worth of info but felt they needed to stretch it to 300. Also, though it didn't detract from the content, there were a lot of typos in the book, which always annoys me.

They expect a lot from disciple makers, just as Jesus does, so overall I was pleased with the book and the discussions it spurred in our group.

Dennis is a master disciplemaking and and has a great deal to share in this book. He rightly points out that often "discipleship" stops at the point that someone is established in their faith (what I think should be called follow-up and is masterfully covered by Gary Kuhne's Dynamics of Personal Followup). Discipleship should continue until the person is able to pass on to others what they have learned and know. I am convinced that much of the church's weakness can be tracked back to a failure t Dennis is a master disciplemaking and and has a great deal to share in this book.

I am convinced that much of the church's weakness can be tracked back to a failure to take discipline making seriously. While I greatly appreciate this book, I think it needs some balance which brings into more focus that it is God's work to change people. I would recommend combining this book with something that comes from the spiritual formation tradition such as https://renovare.org/books

Organic Discipleship is a book dense with facts, instruction, and challenge. These men have thought of it all, it seems. They have strong results to show for their 30 years of labor in teaching and training. I can think of no detail left out of this roadmap for local church discipleship. The bar is set very high, and I surmise most churches won't go this far. But the effectiveness is hard to deny. Organic Discipleship is a book dense with facts, instruction, and challenge.
