The Walk is a book written to those who have an expressed desire to follow Christ as his disciple. It assumes no prior understanding of what that means, nor does it assume that the person has actually come to a point of professing faith. It uses as a starting point a Roman pagan who is newly converted and wondering, "what next?" but alsoregularly addresses those who have grown up "Christian" and may take for granted the realities that would be new to a recent convert.

The Walk is designed to be used as much as read. It will be helpful to someone who wants to read on his own, but also includes readings and projects that will make it useful as a workbook for that individual, in a mentor relationship, or for use in groups. The division into twelve chapters is designed to fit a typical Sunday School quarter.

In this book, Steve Smallman has drawn on a lifetime of pastoral
ministry to provide the church with a gem of a book which, while aimed
specifically at the unbeliever and the new Christian, will yet benefit
even those older in the faith who take time to read it and be reminded
of, and refreshed by, the great, simple truths of the life-changing
gospel. --Carl R. Trueman Westminster Theological Seminary

This is the fruit of a lifetime of experience in ministry. I recommend
this warm, practical, gospel-centered and very useful manual on
discipleship. --Tim Keller
