"Coleman proposes the following model as set up by Jesus himself. Evangelism and discipleship are almost inseparable. Effective evangelism-discipleship focuses on a few to reach the many. Jesus chose twelve, and within those twelve he focused on three. These twelve disciples (minus one notable exception) went on to reach the whole known world with the gospel. This model is very biblical, and in my own experience has proved effective. Read this book and learn the model."
"Overall this book was great. The principles of Jesus' ministry are explained, contrasted with contemporary "mass conversion" methods, and commended as the best way to make disciples. I agree with most of what Coleman says. I agree that focused effort on a few people is the most effective way to evangelize and make disciples. I like how Coleman casts vision for the benefit of future generations by the creation of a few self-replicating disciple-makers now: those who will faithfully multiply in the future.
Yet there are a couple points of emphasis that I disagree with. The most significant one to me is repeated at least three times in the last chapter, Reproduction. That is that the fulfillment of the Great Commission is primarily dependent upon the "faithfulness" of Jesus' disciples through the ages. I believe it would have been better to give more emphasis to the Holy Spirit as the prime mover of the Great Commission. God is building His church, remaining faithful to His promise to save all His people.
The other couple issues I thought were fishy involve Coleman's view of the church."
