This is ideal material to use for either one on one discipleship (training) or for a small group. The material is simple and clear to understand, but requires committment of all involved.
There are verses to memorize (only 5 over a ten week period), and Bible studies to complete. The program helps to establish regular Bible reading and a daily quiet time.

This material tackles the biggest issues of the Christian life, like assurance of salvation, Bible study, resisting temptation, prayer, witnessing, and fellowship.

This material should not be confused with a follow up course that teaches a few basics, but is for the believer who is wanting to seriously follow Jesus Christ. It is good stuff!
As a pastor of 23 years, it is what I use.

I just completed this first book in the New 2:7 Series with a group of 10 men. The majority of us have been Christians for 5+ years and were looking for something to help us fill in the gaps left by our own self-directed Bible studies. I believe this book was beneficial for most of us, especially with respect to Scripture memory. Speaking from personal experience, Scripture memory has historically been a bear and a frustrating experience. However, the method utilized in the New 2:7 Series made it easier and actually fun. My only caution of this book is that it is very structured and for some people this may pose a major challenge. If you function well under structured Bible study though, this book would suit your Bible study group well in fostering in your spiritual growth whether you are a young or mature disciple of Jesus.

Navigators has done a good job of putting the fundamentals of growth as a Christian in one book. We use this series to help us bring everyone in our church up to speed on the basics of living the life of a Christian.

The scripture memory sections are very good and the outside sources, included in the text, are excellent additions to the text.

My group is just getting ready to start #2 in the series and we cannot wait to get started

This book is an awesome review for "old" Christians and an excellent start book for "new" Christians. The devotional focuses on how to study the Bible, have quiet times, and memorize Scripture. I have been a Christian for many years and learned something new from this book in every chapter. I can't wait to go on in the series! You won't regret buying this book!

A great discipleship course in the basics. I took this course myself in 1987 and after that took the leadership training and co-led the course at my church. Currently (2006), I am a volunteer at the local Center for Women's Ministry where I facilitated the class again. From what I've seen, it's the best training out there for a Christian, whether new or old.

my husband and i have done this study and led it several times...it is a great one to use in teaching the basic truths of scripture. Outstanding!

Navigators, outside of the Bible, may have "written the book" on disciplemaking. That is what Navigators are known for. They have many curricula, and I have not been through all of them to say this is in fact the best.

However, you would be hard put to find a better sequence of materials that, at the end of 9 months, have taken a recent convert to Christ into discipleship as well as the 2:7 Series. This is Book I and, within 3 months of seeing its new version for the first time, have 3 different groups set to meet as small groups for the next 9 months, totaling to 13 participants in all. If you were discipled 20 years ago, you might want to get all three books and get re-discipled.

The transaction was timely and the product was in good condition. The product itself, while meant for new believers, is still a moderately good book for discipleship purposes, introducing the BASICS of Scripture study, hiding the Word of the One True God in our hearts, prayer, and fellowship. While I do not agree with all the methodology in the book (such as marking upon His written Word...even a translation), the book as a whole covers the necessary basic practices of growing in one's knowledge of the Holy One of Israel.

We have used this series as a part of the church's discipleship program for several years. We usually use it for groups of two or three. Everyone that finishes the course are blessed.

This is a classic tool (and series) used to disciple effectively men & women at all ages and stages in their relationship with God. We're using it mainly with adults but it can also be used with Jr. High and High School students. This one-year program can transform men and women into more mature believers who can reach out to others (both Christian and non-Christian). You will have a solid walk with God and "tools" to disciple others for the Kingdom. You will be equipped to lead investigative Bible studies in your neighborhood as you live a lifestyle-evangelism focus or teach through this program.

I have used it for 10 years with consistent results as the Holy Spirit empowers the process of growth.

Best done in a small group of 5-9 plus the facilitator.
