New Century Disciple-Making: Applying Jesus Ideas For The Future

Having had the blessing of being introduced to this book (and Bill himself) by others that had encountered his passion for Christ and the very specific mission he assigned to believers throughout the ages... I must insist that this book be a core ministry formation tool. WOW... this is the short phrase that I remember saying once I understood the basic idea outlined within these pages... the idea that Christ had a very specific approach to "how" he made disciples... and the specific plan or pathway that Jesus used in the "disciplemaking" process. Honestly, I don't like to read... for pleasure that is. I LOVE TO READ for information... or learning... and you will find yourself not wanting to put this book down until you have internalized (or should I say "eternalized") the ministry work of Jesus... and the simple yet profound impact that this work will have on everything else you do as a follower of Christ. If you are a leader of ANY level... and you haven't read this yet... buy it NOW! If you don't consider yourself a leader... I suggest the idea that at all times, we have a triad relationship with people that influence us (and those we influence.) --- it starts like this: YOU ---> following after an AUTHOR, a COACH or LEADER of some sort. <br /> <br />We all do this to some extent... from there it quickly turns into this: SOMEONE ---> following YOU ---> following after an AUTHOR, a COACH or LEADER of some sort. <br /> <br />All this to say, even if you don't feel like a leader... you'll see very quickly that by applying the ministry pathway model that Christ used... we all lead in some fashion... <br /> <br />SO THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN... you'll thank me for this (and Bill of course) :o) <br />

This book is a must for anyone who has a burden for obeying the Great Commission. You will be delighted and touched when reading about the ministry of Jesus in making disciples and you will receive insight in how you can become an effective disciplemaker.
