Both men have crossed over into a new level of eternal life. So much of their teaching is classic — it is not dated in the least.
Enjoy! And leave comments below of resources you find helpful.

I first read Coleman’s book in 1973 during my college days at East Tennessee State University. I was involved in CRU (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). I wrote this summary after going through the book in an action group; our small discipleship groups on campus. It stayed in my journal and has been like a North Star to orient me through over 40 years in parachurch and congregational service. His book is still in print. And a version with a small group study guide in the back is also still accessible. Let’s make sure our main thing is Jesus’ main thing! Roy King June 26, 2015
Luke 6:13- People were Christ’s method.
No evidence of haste just determination.
No big impact at this time, just investing in people willing to learn.
Jesus does not neglect the masses, but realizes that victory will never be won by the multitudes.
Matt. 28:20 He was with his disciples.
He let them follow him, and this was his initial requirement.
Lk. 8:10 Knowledge was gained by association before being understood by explanation.
IT TAKES TIME.
Discipleship involves the sacrifice of personal indulgence.
Matt. 11:29- He required obedience.
Lk, 16:13 -The surrender of one’s whole life to the master in absolute submission to His sovereignty was required.
Mt.27:3-10; Acts 1:18, 19 Few would pay the price.
Obedience to Christ was the means by which those in his company learned more truth.
Obedience was modeled by Jesus as he lived in absolute obedience to the Father’s will. Jn.5:30, 6:38.
Jn.20:22 He gave himself away.
Jn. 13:15 He showed them how to live.
Matt.4:19- He assigned them work. He provided them with a vital experience with God and showed them how he worked, before telling them they had to do it.
Their briefing instructions. Lk.9, Matt.10, Mk. 6
“Christian disciples are sent men-sent out in the same work of world evangelism to which our Lord was sent, and for which He gave His life. Evangelism is not an optional accessory to our life. It is the heartbeat of all that we are called to be and do.”
Mk. 8:17- He kept check on them-
He gave instruction, assignments and then regrouping to iron out problems.
Jesus used mistakes and failures for learning Mk.9:17-29,Mk.6:30-44, Mk.8:10-19.
Plan of teaching:
Jn.l5:l6-He expected them to reproduce. (Jn.17:20, 21, 23)
“His whole evangelistic strategy, indeed, the fulfillment of his very purpose in coming into the world, dying on the cross, and rising from the grave depended upon the faithfulness of his chosen disciples to this task.”
A barren Christian is a contradiction. A tree is known by its fruit.
“The only hope for the world is for men to go to them with the Gospel of salvation, and having won them to the Savior, not to leave them, but to work with them faithfully, patiently, painstakingly, until they become fruitful Christians savoring the world about them with the Redeemer’s love.”
“The criteria upon which a Church should measure its success is not how much the budget is increased, or how many names are added to the roll, but rather how many Christians are actively winning souls and training them to win the multitudes.”(pg.113, 114)
Reggie’s newest book is a practical theology on the Kingdom of God. He clarifies the relationship between the kingdom and the church in the biblical drama of God’s redemption story. In the second half he lays out examples and concrete strategy for the people of God (i.e., the church) to live for Kingdom values and influence that entices others to become Christ the King followers.
And Jesus taught us to pray….”your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth at it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
“Jesus wants us to pray for, deeply desire, and dedicate ourselves to seeing the Kingdom as it operates in heaven made visible and active in our daily experience here on earth.” (pg. xiv)
“The purpose of the church is to further God’s kingdom.” (pg. xx)
“…the key to church renewal lies in anchoring the mission and purpose of the church in the biblical teaching of what it means to be the people of God.” (pg. 4)
If you are a Father with a son who is, or will soon be, a young adult read the conversations between John and Sam Eldredge in Killing Lions. (Click Here to Purchase from Amazon)
One of the great contributions are the quotes and lessons they share from their own reading. So our Leadership Training Group decided to read the novel they mention a few times. One of the fellows mentioned this week that this novel was one of the best books we had read together this year. So let me also mention a good pool side read… THE ALCHEMIST — story of a shepherd’s journey to find the treasure of the heart. (Click here to purchase from Amazon)

One preacher who has dramatically impacted the way I preach, teach and view my walk with Jesus is Ron Dunn. His biography is a powerful story of how God is glorified in the weakness and struggles of his servants. Don’s miss this book!
RON DUNN: HIS LIFE AND MISSION BY RON OWENS (buy from Amazon in paperback or Kindle)
The book would be worth reading just for the sermons that are included at the end of each section.
Once you read the book go over to www.rondunn.com and download podcasts of his messages. I just finished my second listen of a four part study on Colossians.
The new book!

Robertson McQuilkin crossed my path at a crucial time. I was recovering from a ‘toxic’ church and skeptical of all things Christian. He showed me a new way that combined intellectual rigor with a clear example of compassionate integrity, and in the process helped to set my course forever. —Philip Yancey: Author and Speaker
Most notable men distinguish themselves in a particular area of life. Robertson McQuilkin is one of those rare individuals who has excelled in multiple areas of academics, missions, writing, speaking, leadership and family life while exhibiting an extra-ordinary anointing and spiritual depth. This book will continue to bless generations to come as it captures the legacy of his life. —Jerry Rankin: President Emeritus of International Mission Board, SBC and Director of Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies, CIU
This book will mentor you. Something on every page will make you a better person, a stronger leader, and a wiser thinker. I confess I’ve found this book delightful because I know and love Robertson McQuilkin and Columbia International University. But had I known neither, I would still have read every chapter with profit and pleasure. You will too. –Robert Morgan: Pastor and Author
From my summer reading let me recommend a book by a long time friend Dr. Ralph Enlow.
THE LEADER’S PALETTE: SEVEN PRIMARY COLORS (CLICK HERE FOR AMAZON PURCHASE)
Ralph makes the case that leaders can fail in being as effective as they could be because they leave out a critical “color” as they “paint” in their leadership journey. He weaves biblical truth with current events and fascinating historical snapshots. He also drops practical tips for any leader along the way including some excellent resources on relational health and the relationship between leading and learning. You will take away several websites to visit that can add to your leadership toolbox.
A good resource for someone leading who wants to step back and look around for any blind spots. It will help you clarify and focus on learning curves that will enhance your leadership.
