COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 5, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Purposeful Design Publications (PDP) is excited to release a new book examining the importance of Christian schooling and ways to biblically disciple the next generation.

"Rethinking Discipleship," by Dr. Alan Pue, explores the importance of the Christian community in helping youth develop a lifelong relationship with Christ so they can truly flourish.

According to Dr. Larry Taylor, ACSI President, the book's foundation is aligned with ACSI's Flourishing Initiative--to cultivate a school culture that glorifies Christ and excels in knowing Him and making Him known.

"'Rethinking Discipleship' is a thought-provoking resource uniting parents, ministry leaders and Christian educators to shepherd children's hearts and weave faith into every aspect of life," Taylor said.

Throughout the text, Pue shows how the effective journey of discipleship is framed by biblical principles and is supported through the collaborative efforts of home, church and school.

"Readers will embark on a holistic, comprehensive, theologically driven exploration of one of the most significant issues of our time," Pue said. "Evidence suggests the necessity of Christian schools to establish a firm foundation so that students are set up to have an eternal relationship with Christ."

Pue has written two other books on Christian schooling that are available on the PDP website, "Rethinking Sustainability" and "Rethinking Strategic Planning."

The new "Rethinking Discipleship" is available for purchase on the PDP site in digital and softcover format.
