John Thompson commented on John Thompson's blog post The Most Effective Form of Discipleship"Thanks for responding Michael,

Based on his findings, he asserts, “Almost every church in our country has some type of discipleship program or set of activities, but stunningly few churches have a church of disciples.”1 Indeed, we have gradually set our eyes on the wrong priorities and the wrong measuring rods.

John Thompson replied to George Allen's discussion Design for Discipleship"I took a group all the way through it and it took about two years. It is very good and I would recommend it.
