Editorial Reviews

Pastor Amadeo Albuquerque

A powerful, Scripture-centered guide to true discipleship. The Good Soil helps believers root their lives in Christ and bear lasting fruit. God has given EO Valle a very special talent to make the Scriptures understood very clearly, and encourage thought for a better Christian life of true discipleship.

- Pastor Amadeo Albuquerque, M.Div., M.R.E.

Pastor Alan Soto

As an Assemblies of God pastor, I found this book faithful to Scripture and fully aligned with the heart of Pentecostal teaching. Valle's explanations are rooted in the Bible, not opinion. The writing is thoughtful yet easy to read. Valle's study on John 15 (remaining in the vine) is especially powerful, reminding believers that true fruitfulness comes from staying connected to Christ.

- Pastor Alan Soto, Assemblies of God, M.Div.

Dr. Greg Stewart

This book is a concise, effective tool for making our discipleship process measurable and effective. Too often have books about discipleship focused on the emotional experience alone and have not given actionable and objective points of evaluation in order to give the disciple confidence they are truly fulfilling the standards of discipleship.

- Greg Stewart, PhD, MDiv, LPC-S

The Good Soil

In a noisy world, Jesus still sows His Word. The question is not whether He is speaking, but whether our hearts are ready to receive it. The Good Soil offers a clear, Scripture-anchored roadmap for disciples who want more than moments of inspiration. Built around seven tenets Jesus Himself names and rooted in the Parable of the Sower, this study moves readers from hearing to abiding, from effort to connection, and from shallow starts to lasting fruit.

Seeds of Discipleship: 30 Day Devotional to Cultivate a Fruitful Life!

Seeds of Discipleship is more than a devotional, it's an invitation to let the message behind the book The Good Soil take root in your daily walk with God. Over the course of 30 days, these short but powerful reflections are designed to do more than inspire; they're meant to transform the way you listen, respond, and grow.

That's Not What The Bible Says

Embark on a thoughtful journey through the pages of Scripture as we revisit familiar passages with fresh eyes. Over time, traditions and assumptions can sometimes shape the way we read the Bible, gently steering us away from its original meaning. This book invites you to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the richness and clarity of God's Word.

Why I Write and Teach the Bible

E.O. VALLE

My journey as a writer began long before the first book. Years of teaching and studying Scripture opened my eyes to something both humbling and transformative: much of what many of us have learned in church doesn't always line up with what the Bible actually says. Sometimes it's tradition, oversimplified teaching, or our own assumptions. Whatever the cause, I realized that many believers were wrestling with the same disconnect I had.

That realization drove me deeper into Scripture. Setting aside what I thought I knew, examining every passage with fresh eyes, and seeking to understand not just what the Bible says, but what it means in context. I even went back to school to strengthen my biblical foundation and deepen my understanding.

Today, that pursuit shapes everything I write and teach. My books and studies are born out of a desire to help people rediscover the richness, clarity, and authority of God's Word. I want to help believers move beyond secondhand faith, engage Scripture thoughtfully, and find confidence in knowing what they believe - and why.

What readers are saying

Nicole A.
Another strength of The Good Soil is its simplicity. The chapters are short, focused, and easy to read. Ideal for busy readers who still long for spiritual depth. Yet, despite its brevity, the book never feels shallow; each section plants seeds of wisdom that continue to grow long after you've finished reading.

- Nicole A.

Steve N.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking to become a fully mature Christian who desires to gain knowledge in obeying Christ's teachings. In essence, if you aspire to become a disciple of the Lord, this book can serve as a valuable guide on your journey to becoming a true disciple who makes disciples of others.

- Steve N.

AnneMarie M.
We often overlook how intentionally God uses people to strengthen and build one another. Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey, we're designed to grow together as one body. This book isn't a theory. It's a clear, empowering roadmap for living out discipleship the way Jesus intended.

- AnneMarie M.

Patrick G.
The Good Soil is easily one of the most impactful books I've read. Page 44 alone is worth the entire book. It's powerful, liberating, and encouraging. I've bookmarked it because I know I'll come back to it again and again as a reminder not to let fear control my choices. Highly recommended for anyone ready to face their Christian life with more courage and clarity.

- Patrick G.

Jen C.
What sets this study apart is the abundance of practical wisdom woven throughout. The author offers countless nuggets of insight that make the book not only engaging but truly enriching. Whether read individually or in a group setting, The Good Soil is the kind of study that invites repeat reading, each time offering something new to uncover and apply.

- Jen C.

Ana L.
This book offers a renewed and profound perspective on what it means to follow Jesus deeply rooted in Scripture and overflowing with practical wisdom. If your heart is searching for the same thing mine was, this book, my friend... this book is for you.

- Ana L.

David K.
I'm 58 and have grown up in the Church, and thus have more than a half-century of hearing Jesus's "soils parable" being periodically featured during Sunday services. It's always seemed straightforward to me (especially since Jesus himself explains it), so I was initially skeptical of the need for a book to flesh out the details. Turns out I was wrong, and this meaty book has thus far challenged me in good but unexpected ways.

- David K.

Savanah G.
I just finished reading this book on discipleship, and I can honestly say, it's one of those reads that sticks with you. It's not just full of good information, it really makes you stop and think about your personal walk with Christ in a deeper way. (Highly enjoyed the reflection questions)

- Savanah G.

Mitch T.
The Good Soil is one of the most well written and impactful books I've read in recent years. From the very first chapter, the author combines biblical depth with practical wisdom in a way that is both spiritually stirring and intellectually engaging.

- Mitch T.

Paula R.
This study reveals the Biblical scriptures and words of Jesus himself that define the seven tenants of discipleship. It is highly recommended, and is an excellent tool for individuals, small groups or churches to use, which simplifies and clarifies these commands from Jesus.

- Paula R.

Oscar O.
It is an easy to read, rewarding, comprehensive study of discipleship and its importance in the Christian faith as presented by Jesus and echoed by the Apostles. It is a must read for explorers of the Christian faith, new converts, as well as more experienced Christians wanting to understand and practice the rewarding discipleship way of life.

- Oscar O.

Lydia S.
The author frames the work as a return to the heart of true discipleship - examining what it really means to follow Jesus, how church tradition can drift from biblical text, and how readers can engage Scripture with fresh eyes. Highly recommended for readers who are comfortable with Bible study, willing to question and dig, and want a discipleship resource that helps bridge Scripture and practice.

- Lydia S.

Carlos A.
It not only provides us with an instruction manual on how to be better disciples in a way that is consistent with what the Bible teaches us, but also shares with us a mindset we should have, --as Christians--, when reading the Bible: one of mindfulness and true spirituality in Jesus Christ.

- Carlos A.

Lillian M.
What touched me most was the reminder that we're also called to share the Good News with others, not by chance, but on purpose. This book encouraged me to stay connected to God, nurture my faith daily, and be more intentional about spreading His love. The Good Soil is inspiring, heartfelt, and full of truth. I highly recommend it!

- Lillian M.

Eric L.
The Good Soil is a book for our time. Full of thought-provoking questions, images, and scripture, it deserves to be sat with, allowing time for the truths presented within its pages to take root and move us beyond familiarity and routine toward being disciples who live and love like Jesus.
