Going Deep Book Review

The following is a review of the book "Going Deep" by Gordon Macdonald.  The book was provided by BookSneeze.com for an unbiased review.

After finishing this book by Gordon Macdonald, I saw "wow".  The book is a bit lengthy and no doubt the point could have been made with fewer words (probably just leaving out some sections).  However, the information delivered is still very much worth the read.  The book addresses through a fictional story the epidemic of surface level Christians and the inability of church programs to make a difference.  It address the importance of discipling and a radical way to approach it.  The ideas presented could wholly change the church of today and the responsibilities of pastors today.  As a lay person, there were several times I thought this book is meant for pastors. At the same time, as a Bible Study leader it was very motivating and I am so thankful that I took the time to read it.  I would strongly suggest that any Christian who desires a "deeper" relationship with Christ or needs information on discipling others take advantage of this resource.  There is no reason why any Christian could not apply many of the principles here to their personal journey and their ability to serve God in an effective manner.  I do believe that while the story is fiction, the ideas are very real and applicable.  I would highly recommend reading this book.
