Following Jesus is not always straightforward or easy. The material in this book is challenging but gradually builds towards the goal of becoming a multiplying disciple. The objective is to faithfully learn, understand & apply the message and power of the Kingdom of God. The course format is divided up into weeks, each containing five study days with the idea that the two remaining days are either for rest or catch up. This is done simply because the course must have some structure but it is not meant to be unswervingly followed. The point is not how quickly the material is completed but rather how deeply it is worked through and how seriously the lessons learned are applied.
