I definitely go with Risk-based Discipling because it’s what we all should be doing yet seems to be the biggest thing churches don’t do well even if they do it. I feel discipleship is the one thing to turn the american church around.
Three Roles of a Leader and Risk-Based Discipling…because there’s such a crying need for authentic, spiritual leadership and true discipling AND because these are areas where you are obviously very fruitful!
Risked Based Discipling and Mistaken Identity. As a young adult those seemed the most prevalent to what many around me would needed at this point in time.

“THE REVOLUTION OF THE BROKEN HEART” Please Seth!
I need to read about others hearts that have been broken and learn from them and be encouraged by their action to help Wipe Every Tear change the world.
Risk-Based Discipling. There are many who need discipling but few who know how to. We younger ones need to know how to ask for and what to ask for/expect in a discipler. Disciplers need to know how to do it!
I would vote for Paradoxes of Faith, although with the response it seems you will still be writing lots of books.
My thought is there is not much out there about the mysteries of our faith in a rational, scientific, provable world. The mystery that is God is what we worship, even when we do not logically understand.
Again, they all sound great!
The Secret of Abundant Living
Paradoxes and Risk Based Discipling.
Because I love paradoxes… and Discipleship.
I’d like to read the books about coaching leaders to lead and Risk-Based Discipleship. And I’m sending a young lady with AIM this summer!
Risked Based Discipling and Mistaken Identity. I would love to read those books.
I had to laugh because I read “how I disciple people” as “how I discipLINE people”. Ha!
The one I’d love to read is “Revolution of the Broken Heart”. I’d love to read how people’s hearts have changed; what the situation was that made them turn around.
Revolution of the Broken Heart – stories of those whose hearts have been broken by the poor
or
Mistaken Identity – issues young people wrestle with as they dismantle the false self
Risk-based discipling!
Risk-based Discipling. We are discussing discipling in our small group. I’ve seen many different ideas on this and many that are simply ineffective. I’d like to read about your take on this.
I’d go with
Risk Based Discipling (which could also be a component of 3 roles of a leader?)
Mistaken Identity
can’t wait to read… ‘kingdom journeys’ 😉
I’m curious abotu what you would write about in the Revolution of the Broken Heart. Is it about people who became poor and had their hearts broken or people who care about the poor and are brokenhearted by their suffering?? I think it would be an interesting book.
Revolution of the Broken Heart of Mistaken Identity
Ash – Revolution of the Broken Heart is about people who are poor and what it does to be around them.
Mistaken Identity. I believe it is the most vital and also the most behind-the-scenes issue of all of the books you listed. If we don’t know who we are, won’t we act in order to try to please God instead of living out of trust in the knowledge that we already do? Won’t we strive instead of rest as we obey because of His finished work? Won’t we see Him differently and approach Him differently unless we know what it means to be holy once and for all because of the canceled record of debt that once stood against us? I could go on…but I think you get the idea. 🙂 All of them sound like something I would want on my shelf.
Seth, I would like to see you pursue the Mistaken Identity first because I imagine that it speaks to the inner journey which corresponds to the outer journey of mission trips and world races. I understand that those trips bring us face to face with our false selves, but how wonderful to also have a written guide/reflection on that inner transformation. A sort of “DEconstruction manual” for dismantling the false self and beliefs. Or, if you prefer to come at it from the other side, a repair manual that begins with the brokenness encountered in the mission fields and in ordinary life.
The coaching Leaders one or The Warriors Journal for leaders. thanks for asking
“Revolution of the Broken Heart” because I am so often involved with the poor, and I struggle with how to handle my breaking heart.
“Paradoxes of Faith” because the older I get the more paradoxes I discover.
The ones on leadership and discipling would be most interesting to me!
Risk-Based Discipling – how I disciple people
Mistaken Identity – issues young people wrestle with as they dismantle the false self
One of those is my vote.
Please don’t write on “leadership”. We have far too many “leaders” and far too few servants. (HINT: Wall Street can teach us nothing of God and Moses is not a model for the Church. See Hebrews 10:9, that much ignored summation of the epistle.)
Please don’t write on discipling. We have mountains of books on the subject.
Out of the entire list, there is only one that meets a need, a VERY DEEP need, in the Church today.
We need more broken hearts. Please finish and publish “Revolution of the Broken Heart “.
You write well, and you have something worth saying. It’s now 2017. It’s time to focus and finish.
That’s really good, Mark. Thanks for the feedback. I agree.
I ended up doing two – one was a new book, more of a study of Jesus and how he discipled. Called it “Dangerous Jesus” and then we finished editing “Revolution of the Broken Heart.” In fact, I’d love to get your feedback on it. I never did publish it.
I’d be happy to read it and provide feedback. Based on what Ive seen so far, it should be published.
Wow- how interesting. A lot of my friends know that if I wasn’t going back to Haiti this month, then I was starting work on the same thing that you just listed at the top of this list. Hmmm, gotta pray about what that means.

It’s really hard to choose just one! Of course I am looking at the titles with the ladies I teach at Teen Challenge in mind. Of course I will learn right along with them which it the beauty of teaching, but the Secret of Abundant Living sounds like it would be wonderful!
Your book of Mistaken Identity,,, would this also cover issues of people who have been raised in other religions that have been taught a way that was not lined up to the word of God but rather man? This is so needed as I have discovered in my own life and family but also with all these ladies I work with. So much confusion of what they have been taught and what is really right or wrong.
May God continue to bless all you do!
