Traducido por Julio R. Vargas Vidal.

Los autores comparan seis etapas del desarrollo espiritual con la playa y el océano, las cuales son ilustradas con las enseñanzas y el proceso de hacer discípulos y discípulas de Jesucristo. Dichas etapas abarcan desde cuando la persona no ha tenido un encuentro personal con Jesucristo, hasta llegar a la madurez cristiana y, ¡boga cada vez mar adentro! El libro ofrece, además, un mapa estructural que incluye cada aspecto de la vida de la iglesia, el cual puede ser usado por cada congregación en su propio contexto.
