The Training of the Twelve: Timeless Principles for Leadership Development

200,000 copies in print! For over one hundred years The Training of the Twelve has been highly regarded and widely received. A. B. Bruce’s work continues to speak powerfully and effectively to the contemporary Christian generation.
