Beyond the Models of Disease and Choice
Strategic Initiatives in Evangelical Theology

If we're honest, many of us hesitate to disciple others because we don't feel qualified, fear we'll do more harm than good, and think we don't have time for it. Yolanda Solomon provides a practical guide to help ...
