'There is so much to like in Peter Scazzero's Emotionally Healthy
Discipleship--he pushes against the 'let's get 'er done' approach
to measuring discipleship and advocates instead a slowed-down
be-with-God measure to following Jesus. What I like most is his
emphasis on getting to know the crucified Jesus and ridding
ourselves of the Americanized Jesus.'
* Scot McKnight, Northern Seminary; author of Jesus Creed

'There may be no more important pastoral and prophetic voice for
church leaders in this cultural moment than Pete and Geri Scazzero
and the work of emotionally healthy discipleship.'
* Todd Wilson, CEO and cofounder, Exponential *
'This is a book that must be read by the church, a word that has to
get out. The world is becoming urban and multi-ethnic, and this
book shows us the way to build healthy and effective churches in
those communities.'
* John M. Perkins, author of One Blood: Parting Words to the
Church on Race and Love *
