I highly recommend this book to pastors and church leaders who want to encourage Christian intelligence and maturity in their people.

Dawn, teaching fellow in spiritual theology, Regent College At last, a book that tells local churches how to fulfill all of the Great Commission! It’s important that we ‘go’ and that we ‘make disciples,’ but it’s also important that we ‘teach’ new believers and help them grow in the faith. I want to prod parishes of all denominations to listen to Packer’s and Parrett’s cries and constructive proposals to better equip new believers. Gresham Machen Professor of Theology, Westminster Seminary, California Having been initially formed by Lutheran catechetical practices, I heartily endorse Packer’s and Parrett’s efforts to encourage evangelicals to adopt similar procedures for training both young and old in the foundational elements of faith. More than a call to recover a neglected practice, Grounded in the Gospel provides concrete advice to us all for dedicating ourselves anew to rooting the next generation in the great truths of the faith. Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship Nothing could be more practical than the urgently needed wisdom that Packer and Parrett provide in this book. It will help you to see how to make not just converts but, as Jesus tells us, disciples. These contributions from two of our best Christian thinkers help us to do precisely what Packer said is needed. On his 80th birthday, Packer said that the greatest challenge for the twenty-first-century church was to re-catechize and disciple believers.
