Bill Hull’s passion has been to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in twenty years of pastoral service and the authorship of ten books. His first book, Jesus Christ Disciplemaker, is celebrating 20 years with a new edition. The Disciple Making Pastor and the Disciple Making Church are two successive books which make up his popular disciple making trilogy. These books have provided the church with a new paradigm for disciple making.
I find myself leaning toward the Election part myself. I am not a die hard Calvinist but do lean more in that direction...
....that said, I do agree its a mystery. I don't think the Calvinists have it totally right and same with the flip side. I think there is a mystery that includes both God's election and man's free will that both doesn't diminish His sovereignty or His mercy and grace.
