I liked the idea of this book, who doesn't like a strange space virus? However the writing put me off, it was far too truncated, chopping and changing scenes and POV all over the place. Lots of, "well Bob, as you know, I told Bill earlier about the blah blah", to catch characters up on a plot that just moved too fast and was disjointed. I also couldn't get on with the odd asterisks at the end of a scene to show someone's thoughts, or the italics for the last sentence, often with an exclamation mark. It seemed far too OTT and disrupted my reading. Admittedly, this book is 10 years old, so I hope the writer has improved since then. I would read a more recent book for comparison.… (more)

Bill Clem has written a book that will be helpful in discipleship settings. Each chapter covers an aspect of the Christian life based on the gospel. There are activities and lists at the end of each chapter that will prove valuable to the process of Christian Growth.
I appreciate the sharing of Bill's methods in this format.

This book came at a time when I was thinking much on discipleship, studying and getting ready to teach others on discipleship. For some reason, Clem's book did not capture me. I tried a few different times to get through it but never made it past the fourth chapter. On this topic, I love and have been greatly helped by "Disciples are Made, Not Born", "The Master Plan of Evangelism", "Training of the Twelve" and "Following the Master." Given the numerous positive reviews of this book, I am sure that I should pick it back up to try and read it again at a later date.… (more)

Although the basics of discipleship are covered in this book, they are basics that even the seasoned believer needs to be reminded of. I appreciated the 'assignments' at the end of each chapter because they do what many books about discipleship fail to do, namely, take us back to God's Word as our source for authority pertaining to discipleship.
