Download or read book Discipleship by Design written by Harvey A. Herman and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 'Come, follow me, ' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.'" The relationship between Jesus and these brothers started with the simple words, "Come, follow me." In essence, a disciple of Jesus is a follower. Eventually, Jesus' twelve followers will change the world. However, it is an inconspicuous and unremarkable beginning for an eventual team of world-changers, don't you think? How will an assortment of "unschooled, ordinary men" be transformed into courageous and substantive heralds in just three short years? Transformation, complete and deep-seated transformation, is the answer. How does a total metamorphosis take place within a new follower? Jesus' discipleship begins with a personal relationship and an invitation to join a missional community. Before followership is a program it is a leadership development process experienced within a culture. This book seeks to initiate a dialogue on how to foster a culture of discipleship. No program can fulfill The Great Commission. However, a community of believers committed to transforming the world through the process of disciple-making can. Harvey A. Herman is a missionary serving university students. Over the previous three decades he pioneered five campus groups, pastored a university church in Seattle, and served on the national staff of Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship. Presently, he serves as area director over the Northeast. His doctorate is in strategic leadership and organizational management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual Lessons for New Believers is a four-session study guide designed to help new believers grow. As the new believer’s first phase of follow-up, Spiritual Lessons for New Believers introduces the new convert to the ‘basics’ of Christianity. The four sessions include the reading content of instructive opening paragraphs, fill-in-the-blank questions, matching, some memorization, and some writing. The minimal qualifications needed to use the follow-up materials, as a discipler, are as follows: the discipler must himself be a believer and the discipler must be able to read. Filled with Scripture, the lessons in this inter-active book include studies on the new believer’s Faith in Jesus Christ, Life in Jesus Christ, Walk with Jesus Christ, and his Fellowship with Christ and His People. Topics covered include: A review of the salvation experience, Assurance, Scripture memorization, Spiritual growth, Prayer, The Bible, Witnessing, Living the Christ-life, The Lord’s return, Guarding against temptation, Church attendance, Baptism, The Lord’s Supper, Church Membership, and Fellowship with other believers. As an introductory study guide, Spiritual Lessons for New Believers flows into two other discipleship books by Keith D. Pisani: The second phase content study manual: Spiritual Lessons for Growing Believers which provides two transition studies: Baptism class and membership class, 26 ‘A to Z’ sessions on topics from Assurance to Zeal, and two discipler training sessions.

Download or read book Called to Reach written by William Yount and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s a cross-cultural discipler? It’s someone who crosses distinct cultural barriers—whether at home or abroad—to share the gospel and develop other effective Christian disciples. Think of the apostle Paul who was born into a Jewish heritage but preached in Greece and Rome among other places, or modern day missionaries, both short-term and long-term, who bravely go where God sends them despite the challenges of language and lifestyle differences when they get there. Called to Reach is a much-needed book of encouragement and training for cross-cultural disciplers new and old. Based on the authors’ dynamic experiences, it defines seven characteristics that best enhance the effectiveness of disciplers in overcoming cultural barriers and emphasizes the importance of personally growing in spiritual maturity with every outreach opportunity. Throughout, Jesus is presented as the model cross-cultural discipler, for He left the culture of Heaven to disciple us in our earthly culture.

Download or read book Relational Discipleship written by Brian Craig Drurey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is waiting for each of us to return home! In fact, God is already out in the world searching and inviting each person to take the journey back to God's house. Relational Discipleship: Moving Back Home with God approaches discipleship from a fresh perspective and intentionally draws on biblical principles and examples of discipleship. In this approach, the metaphor of a house is used to describe our journey back to God. Hospitality plays a key factor in how discipleship, from this perspective, warmly calls each person forward in each step. Other modes of discipleship are solely focused on transformation of the disciple. Here, in this model, the transformation of the discipler must occur first. Then, the discipler can be a warm host helping other travelers on the path to God's house. Join in the journey today and see how Relational Discipleship offers the call to move back home with God.
