Dr. Coleman stated that one of Jesus’s attributes was that he knew he would be emulated and followed. This is the reason that he lead the way, this is the reason why he is constantly speaking to our souls in the hopes that we would be convicted of our sins.

Conclusion
This text does a wonderful join in presenting the concept of discipleship to the masses. Dr. Coleman aside from the omission of the centralized message accomplished what he set up to do. Our churches today are not structured the right way. Most of them seem to have a program that they can buy. They seem to want the answers given to them and think less. The classes for discipleship are not very long but there is an expectation of going into the neighborhood with confidence. This book goes a long way into helping as it relates to the principles but it will be up to the individual to seek further
