Wendy Bray writes:

'As we become increasingly familiar with the potential of Internet-based learning and explore new ways to do "discipleship", it is inevitable that the two will meet. Foundations21 is a web- and DVD-based resource that makes those introductions creatively.

'It offers a seemingly exhaustive choice of well-researched, in-depth study material - and an online community to share it with. It provides a multimedia treasure chest for individual users and a virtual home group for those who want to learn with others: less of a study aid, more of a way of life with like-minded co-disciples.

'Twelve virtual rooms lead community members through different areas of discipleship training by choice and through one of the four Gospel "pathways" according to personal learning style. Writer Adrian Plass introduces the themes, there are opportunities for globally-focused prayer and there are contributions from church leaders, movers and shakers from across the evangelical tradition.

'It's a stunning resource.'
