520			_a"Historically this exhaustive work is the 'classic' in the field of discipleship, attested to by many including Howard Hendricks, Dallas Theological Seminary professor, and Olan Hendrix, a Christian management and training specialist. This is not your average evangelical guide to instant discipleship. It will take time to absorb all of the theological and practical insights on how Jesus trained His band of men, which Bruce analyzes carefully. But if you persevere, you will discover why this volume is recognized as the inspiration, if not the mentor, behind much of the renewed interest and writing on discipleship in our day." - From Eternity Magazine, September, 1979 - Back cover.
520			_aThe lessons and patterns in ageless management principles employed by our Lord with His disciples are an inspiring model for those who seek greater depth and stability in the Christian church today. Featured in this classic work is Christ, the Master Potter, molding and fashioning His disciples into useful vessels. The Training of the Twelve is rich in thoughts, not only for preacher and teacher, but it is also invaluable for every Christian who is interested in being a leader or in preparing others to lead. - Back cover.
