Synopsis
"In a churchly culture of many decisions but few disciples, Bill Hull challenges us to exchange ingrained patterns of unfruitful mediocrity for the paradigm of radically following Jesus on the path of transformational discipleship. If faithfully heeded, Choose the Life will revolutionize the people of God." --Bruce Demarest, professor of Christian theology AND SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION, DENVER SEMINARY "Hull, I believe, correctly identifies that though there is a growing concern among some evangelicals about the lack of true spiritual formation, this is a problem of a more fundamental nature that has been with many of us for much longer than many of us realize, namely, a vapid version of the gospel. He makes a compelling and inarguable case that the cross of Christ requires us to restore the crucial dimension of discipleship--a long obedience in the footsteps of Jesus--to our proclamations and invitations. I couldn't agree with him more. Until we make the crucial correction, it's useless to think we can expect our people to get excited about things like serving the overlooked or racial reconciliation." --Ken Fong, senior pastor. Evergreen Baptist Church, Los Angeles "Bill Hull's Choose the Life is a wonderful book for those tired of ho-hum Christianity. He gets right to the heart of what being a disciple of Jesus Christ means. With the drastic drop of the number of evangelicals in the last ten years, he sounds a wakeup call for the church and addresses some of the reasons for this from both a biblical perspective and his very personal account of God's work in his own life." --Clyde Cook, president, Biola University

This is an excellent book for anyone seeking to understand a detailed way to follow Christ and truly become one of his disciples! I edited this book and although I am of a different faith I found it enlightening and discovered additional ways I could be a better disciple of Christ and help others to become one as well.
