There is something that must be established at this point, something vital. In the writing of and in the reading of a work such as this, you, the reader, and R. A. Torrey, the writer, bring certain convictions to the reading. On some points, convictions may be compatible. On other points, convictions may differ. On still other points, convictions may clash. This is the common experience of all people of faith. It seems that we can agree on many things but not all things.Because this is so there is something that must be interjected at this point, some fundamental convictions that the author embraces and brings to this work:First, the Bible is Truth, God's Truth. It is Truth without any mixture of error. The Bible, and the Bible alone, is the standard of measure for all things pertaining to faith and practice - life and righteousness. People of biblical faith will embrace this fundamental conviction and be nurtured and challenged by what Torrey has written. People of unbelief will be challenged too - as they explore and examine their unbelief.Second, people of biblical faith have convictions built upon the Truth of God's Word. Hear me. He who writes what you are reading knows what he is talking about: God's Truth is greater than our convictions. Convictions grip us. They give us spiritual backbone. They help us to stand in the midst of swirling theological controversy, troubling trials and adversity. Nevertheless, even though we value our convictions and, indeed, even though our convictions are valuable, God's Word, God's Truth, is greater than our convictions. Our convictions are subservient, always subservient, to the Truth of God's Word; not the other way around. The Truth - God's Word -- is the standard of measure - not our convictions. May you discern the difference and be transformed by the renewing of your mind as you put on the mind of Christ.Third, proceeding from convictions are principles. Convictions grip us. Principles guide us. Principles add flavor, shape and color to our convictions and their expression in life.Fourth, flowing out of our principles are predilections and preferences, options and opinions - and from all of these -- choices -- and, that is where the rubber meets the road: we make choices and choices have consequences. And, it is here, in the consequences, that our destinies are shaped and our testimonies are shared.Review by Dr. John Dee Jeffries; CEO / Acquisitions Editor / Published By Parables

Here what others are saying about this God-anointed book..."Christians agree that fulfilling the Great Commission is not a suggestion but a command. Making disciples who make disciples requires more than desire or even commitment-it requires intentionality. In his book, Go Make (Pentecostal) Disciples, Dr. James gives a detailed path to becoming a Spirit-empowered Christ follower. Take the journey; or better yet, take someone else with you."Alton Garrison Assistant General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, and, Director of the Church Transformation Initiative "Ray James' book 'Go Make (Pentecostal) Disciples', reminds us what the FINISH Commitment is about: making disciples." It's what Christ calls us to do: make disciples. This research focuses in on the unique dynamic of discipleship in the Pentecostal realm and is an excellent resource to help boldly proclaim the territory Christ has imparted to us as Spirit-filled leaders."Dr. Timothy M. HillPresiding Bishop/General Overseer , Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee "Pentecostal experience is rooted in the descriptive truths found in God's Word. Dr. Ray James provides a study of the Bible that corresponds to life experiences we encounter as disciples of Jesus Christ. As we engage in this insightful study of the Word, 'Go Make (Pentecostal) Disciples', we will discover the great joy and blessing of the power of the Spirit working through the power of the Word." Dr. A.D. Beacham, Jr.General Superintendent, International Pentecostal Holiness Church
