The incarnation of Jesus was behind the book and the eight principles I originally wrote about.The fact that Jesus came to rescue us and to show us how much God loves us was just assumed in my original work. But now, when I present the material, I believe that it is helpful to make thatconcept explicit. So, when I go through the nine principles, I start with the incarnation, and I tell everyone that all the other principles are built on it. Another minor change is that I now put the principle of “impartation” at the end to emphasize the Holy Spirit. Originally I wanted to make sure it was integral to the whole process, so I put it earlier. But now I usually put it at the end, after “reproduction,” because the Holy Spirit is the real power source for disciple making (R. Coleman)
