RATING: 7/10 Summary: There’s gold in this book. One nugget is Sunde’s assertion that community always result from engaging mission together. Worked the other way, just doesn’t work. He does a great job tying in the practices (rhythms) into disciplemaking. In fact, this book reminded me of JM Comer’s Practicing the Way. Perhaps because of the book’s similarity I found myself struggling to get through it at points, but it’s a very solid book that demonstrates how he’s integrated disciplemaking into his life and ministry. Additionally, his disciple making language lacks precision (interchanging mentoring, apprenticing, disciplemaking, etc.). I recommend this book for those getting started in disciplemaking who want to continue to understand what it looks like from a practical perspective (rather than an informational paradigm).
