They don’t just offer information; they offer transformation. Highly recommended!’

The Revd Canon Andy Glover, team leader of Hoole Baptist Church adn Fresh Streams

‘I love the fact that [Guy] has treated discipleship as a whole-life issue. It is not about just the passing on of knowledge. This book will show you how to follow Christ with all aspects of your life and how to teach others to do the same. I cannot recommend it enough.’

Dr Harvey Kwiyani

The Revd Dr Samuel Gibson, vicar, St George’s Edgbaston

‘This work provides essential insights into missionary discipleship as well as a framework for going deeper in our individual walk with Christ. A timely, much-needed resource for the church both corporately and individually.’
The Rt Revd Arun Arora, bishop of Kirkstall

‘What I like most about Guy’s take on faith is that there’s no one-size- fits all; there’s space for different people, different gifts and the messy realities life. All in all, Guy’s books are probably some of the warmest, most encouraging ones I know for taking the next steps to follow Jesus.’ 
Canon Dr Mark Powley, archbishop’s mission enabler for the north
