Preston Sprinkle introduces us to the real Jesus of the Bible and to his way of life that changes everything. With strong biblical insight and practical wisdom, Go: Returning Discipleship to the Front Lines of Faith is a must-read.
BRANDON HATMAKER
Founder of the Legacy Collective and author of A Mile Wide and Barefoot Church
In typical Preston Sprinkle fashion, he invites us to discover a newfound joy in the disciple-making Jesus longs for in his church. As leaders wrestle with generations abandoning faith, this resource is acute full of insight and the truth that leads to deep transformation.
GABE LYONS
Author of Good Faith and founder of Q Ideas
Sadly, many of our modern-day definitions of discipleship focus on a personal (and primarily inward-focused) relationship with Jesus that has little to do with the deeply communal nature of the New Testament church. In Go: Returning Discipleship to the Front Lines of Faith, Preston Sprinkle offers a much-needed counterbalance to the rugged spiritual individualism of our age. He presents a definition and path of discipleship that engages the entire church and, more importantly, aligns with the definition and path of discipleship found in the New Testament. If you are serious about biblical discipleship, this book is a must-read.
LARRY OSBORNE
Author and pastor of North Coast Church
This is a must-read for anyone wanting to make disciples and ignite a disciple-making movement. Sprinkle does a great job filling in the gaps of many contemporary thoughts on disciple making, and he restores the importance of grace as we invest in others. Along the way, he gives practical helps on how to make your discipleship relationships more authentic and missional. I highly recommend this book!

For Francis Chan
Thank you for making the radicalness of following Jesus
look and feel
so normal
so Christian
so impossible
and so right
H OW CAN WE GROW followers of Jesus who love God with their whole heart, mind, soul and strength when nearly every force in our rapidly changing culture seems arrayed against this outcome?
Making and growing disciples is challenging in any setting, but it seems especially tough in a narcissistic and pleasure-seeking age such as ours. For example, one of the prevailing ideas of our time is that people can find the best versions of themselves by looking inside themselves. Nine out of ten US adults (91 percent) and three-quarters of practicing Christians (76 percent) agree with this notion. The idea that the self is the center of meaning holds sway over our culture and has gained surprising traction within todays Christian community. Thus, many Christians view internal inputs feelings, perceptions, and so on as equal to or more valid than external sources of authority such as the Bible, church tradition, or the wisdom of their Christian brothers and sisters. This view is the very essence of the lone-wolf, choose-your-own-spiritual-adventure mind-set. You know whats best for you. Look inside to find yourself and be fulfilled. Be true to yourself. These lies about humanity have been widely embraced by a selfie-obsessed generation.
The truth of the gospel stands in stark contrast: We find ourselves in a fixed point outside of ourselves, in Jesus Christ revealed by the Scriptures.
Following this Jesus is not a solo pursuit. The practices that shape us into people who love God with our whole selves and our neighbor as ourselves cant be done by lone wolves yet so many would-be disciples are distracted by the self-centered demands of our age that work against communion with God and others.
