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.
Bill, how can you " think Brian is a gift to the church, he forces us to think, he challenges us to ask bigger questions and to come up with bigger answers." when you also acknowledge that the views of Brian MacLaren on salvation, the atonement - issues which are fundamental to our faith - are not based on scripture but on his own contrived interpretation. Many passages in the New Testament warn us to be aware of the activity of false prophets and teachers. Paul, in Acts 20:29ff refer to such people as savage wolves, who distort the truth. Such is Brian MacLaren and he needs to be recognised as such
