The book sits within the lordship salvation tradition associated with figures like John MacArthur, though Hull and Sobels approach it from a Wesleyan-influenced, non-denominational discipleship framework. Readers should be aware that the book's central thesis — that discipleship is part of the gospel itself — requires careful handling to avoid inadvertently undermining the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone.

Is the Gospel You Preach Making Disciples--Or Converts?
Many today preach a gospel that makes converts, but not disciples. This is the result of "non-discipleship gospels," which exclude the necessity to follow Jesus from their message. The Discipleship Gospel challenges the church today with a fresh reading of Jesus' gospel--one that we must learn to preach again.
"The gospel you preach determines the disciples you make," the authors write. Bill Hull and Ben Sobels use key biblical texts to describe why discipleship is not just an add-on to the gospel, but an essential part of it. The authors define seven essential elements of Jesus' gospel and why you must include each one in your gospel if you want to make disciples, not just converts. In this book, they help you clarify your understanding of the gospel, learn how to contextualize your message, and create a plan to make disciples who embrace the full gospel--in your church and beyond.
