A common topic in churches is how to keep people engaged and growing spiritually. It takes more than getting them to come to church each week and sitting through a service. Justin G. Gravitt aims to tackle this topic and help church leaders form a plan to not only get people coming, but to help them grow and mature.

The book is not intended to be one of the stereotypical “follow my plan and I guarantee you’ll see results,” books. Gravitt first outlines what the problem is, how churches need to build a good foundation for Christians to allow for solid growth that will hold fast in times of trouble. Having laid this foundation for the book, he moves on to building not a program, but an entire culture of making disciples.

Each part of the book is clear and simple to read. Leaders at all levels of a church can begin to put the concepts into use and work together to for disciples. The final chapter provides a plan for building a team that has discipleship as its goal. To form a culture, it is vital that everyone is committed to the goal. This book is a great read for any church that wants to help its members grow.

I received a free ARC of the book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
