Synopsis

Jesus lived with His disciples for three years and taught them life lessons in a relational atmosphere. After three years, He commanded them to "go and do likewise" (Matthew 28:18-20).
Our God, the Trinity, is relational. He lives in perfect harmony with the other members of the Godhead. His Word is full of exhortations to love and serve one another. This book will show you how.
The isolationism in the Western world is creating a hunger for community, and the world is longing to see relational disciples in action. This book will encourage Christ-followers to allow God to use family, friends, cells, and mission communities to mold and shape them into relational disciples.
This book underscores the radical truth that Christian formation happens primarily in the context of relational community. It challenges Western individualism with the biblical basis for community. It integrates biblical theology and Christ-centered practice with sensitivity to historical theology and Western cultural resistance.
