"I am delighted to have had the privilege to read his book. Rasik's approach is a scholarly one. His work is scriptural and well-referenced. It is a textbook on discipleship that embraces his experience of more than 40 years in ministry. Those reading this book will be challenged and motivated to be active in the field of disciple-making." - Eric Roy (Member of Parliament, Deputy Speaker of the House, NZ) "Our faith challenges us to shift popular culture, to communicate hope in a new language. Rasik's call to rediscover the age-old tenet of discipleship is important ? the true cultural radicals are those who understand the light they hold and the perpetual need to engage with the world around them." - Mark de Jong (Founder and CEO Parachute Music)
