The Power Of Discipleship

Are you called to help others know Jesus Christ? How do I prepare myself to mentor someone else's walk in faith? What tools do I need to use to complete this task? These are just some of the questions answered in this book. There is a self-examination part to the book to prepare a person to better present their own testimony to another person. Tools such as praise, journaling, capturing thoughts and turning them over to God are explored in depth. A suggested timeline for meeting with an individual is included. Topics to use are included in an action plan. Grace, forgiveness, and letting go of previous understanding are described in an applied way while building a trust relationship with the new Christian.

What can we do when we feel stuck? Sam Van Eman has found that our spiritual lives need disruptive experiences to jolt and reorient us. Filled with concrete examples of how ordinary people are shaped by pursuing these out-of-the-ordinary experiences, this book provides a path to deeper faith on purpose.

This booklet is designed to help those who have given their lives to Christ, to grow into a mature disciple of Jesus. By entering the School of the Holy Spirit, they will be growing in four fundamental spiritual disciplines of a disciple of Jesus Christ. Over three thousand copies have been sold and the demand is increasing. See a testimonial below. I read your book during Adoration, and I could not get over how good it is. I have been searching for something like this for a long time. I have attended many classes on evangelization I have not really understood. I have never heard a better explanation on how to grow with Jesus, than what is in your book. The Holy Spirit was certainly with you when you were writing it. I really can't express to you how much I enjoyed your book and how it answered so many questions in my life. God Bless You Jack NY

Everyone is being discipled. The question is: what is discipling us? The majority of Christians today are being discipled by popular media, flashy events, and folk theology because churches have neglected their responsibility to make disciples. But the church is not a secondary platform in the mission of God; it is the primary platform God uses to grow people into the image of Jesus. Therefore, as church leaders, it is our primary responsibility to establish environments and relationships where people can be trained, grow, and be sent as disciples. There are three indispensable elements of discipleship: Learning to participate in the biblical story (the Bible) Growing in our confession of who God is and who we are (theology) Regularly participating in private and corporate intentional action (spiritual disciplines) Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life as though Jesus were living it. The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion—answering the call to follow Jesus—and discipleship—living like the one we claim to follow.

Perhaps Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s most radical book, this reading of the Sermon on the Mount has influenced many Christians throughout the world over the last 50 years.

Our whole society relies on discipline. People going to work each day, doctors following procedures, pilots checking equipment, all rely on each person following a set of rules – a discipline. Following Jesus is synonymous with living disciplined. The current times demand disciples, not just churchgoers or Christians. In this new book from Pastor Phil Pringle brings lessons from his 43 years in Church ministry, and serving the global Church.
