Book Description
"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

Book Description
"The straight forward command from our Lord is to, "make disciples". Pastor Larry DiSimone gives us an important resource that churches can use in helping us in our obedience to making disciples for Christ. "Making Disciples" has been a tremendous blessing for our church in training up believers to be strong in their faith. It will help churches in raising up future leaders and certainly will equip the saints for the work of the ministry. I highly recommend "Making Disciples" for the spiritual health of any congregation." --- Pastor Jeff Figgs, Calvary Chapel of Greeley

Book Description
If you make disciples and want to multiply churches, this book is for you.In its 6th edition since appearing in 1983 this book has helped several thousand pastors move from growing strong Christ-followers to multiplying churches. It will teach you to leverage your gifts in the lives of others. Ralph's story and the story of Hope Chapel is a challenge to let go of our ways for God's ways. Not the most charismatic speaker, he makes up for it with his writing.The title came from a challenge by Ralph's dentist over plans to leave a megachurch in California to start over in Hawaii, "You'll never do it, Frodo, you'll never let go of the ring. The big ones never do."The motive behind the book is to do things beyond our comfort zone and learned behavior. To believe in others when others normally wouldn't. To let go of our desire for self-importance for God's plans. In other words, to "LET GO OF THE RING".Read and observe as one tiny congregation grows into a movement of more than 2,400 congregations (more than 200,000 people). Ralph's account of what it took to abandon security and begin again is three times inspiring. What sets it apart from other books on church multiplication is that this man actually experienced the story with all its bumps, bruises and victories. The book is short on theory and long on reality.This story of the Hope Chapel mosaic of churches is funny and heartwarming, it also presents a simple, practical approach to making disciples and multiplying churches.See how God turned a handful of people, with no money and few resources, into a movement operating on every continent.You'll learn how individual surrender to God mounts up to allow ordinary people to make a great difference in the world.What happened to these people could happen to you!Gather:1. The organic nature of making disciples through relationships.2. Just how little material support you need to plant a church.3. The power of God to turn broken lives into strong tools of his grace.4. Why a promise "to love you... as is!" is important to the spread of the gospel.5. Next steps in your own life.In truth, ministry shouldn't be such hard work. Disciplemaking and church multiplication ought to be easier and life as a leader shouldn't be as difficult as it is. Perhaps you struggle in your dreams to make disciples and plant churches. Let Ralph Moore come alongside, through this book and the tools he offers on his blogsite, www.ralphmoore.net. He's been in your shoes-hopeful to make a dent in the world, yet unsure of himself. Let his experience come alongside to guide you to where God wants you to go.As you learn to walk the uncommon path, you'll find new ways to model the character of Jesus and discover his supernatural power to help you along the way.

Book Description
Many church leaders, yearning for church growth, look to the latest evangelistic strategies or seeker-targeted worship services. But lack of growth might not be due to lack of concern for new people—it may be because we are not effectively discipling the people we already have. Greg Ogden address the need for discipleship in the local church and recovers Jesus' method of accomplishing life change by investing in just a few people at a time. Ogden sets forth his vision for transforming both the individual disciple and discipleship itself, showing how discipleship can become a self-replicating process with ongoing impact from generation to generation. This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter on discipleship and preaching.

Book Description
John Wesley was an eighteenth-century Anglican priest and Oxford tutor. He and George Whitefield were the primary leaders of the Evangelical Awakening which had a profound effect on the spiritual, social, and political life of both England and colonial America. Wesley gathered converts into a network of small groups for personal accountability, behavioral change, leadership training, and the transformation of their communities. Central to his system was the "class meeting," which proved to be one of the most effective tools for making disciples ever developed. This study examines the historical development, the theological foundation, and the social outcomes of John Wesley's class meeting.

Book Description
Making Disciples is a 13-session mentor-based confirmation program that pairs confirmands with adult mentors and guides them through a variety of learning experiences that will strengthen the student's understanding of the faith while connecting him or her with the community of believers in a personal way. It can be used as a stand-alone program, or in conjunction with your current curriculum as a special experiential unit. This is a confirmation program that is more like a process and less like a reading assignment, more engaging and congruent with the nature of the Christian faith than existing programs. Using an “apprenticeship” approach to confirmation Will Willimon produced a series of learning experiences where adult mentors and confirmands are both teachers and learners at the same time. This time-tested approach has been extensively revised and updated for usage in today’s churches that take seriously Christ’s command to be engaged in disciple making The bulk of the Mentor Guide is exactly the same as the Confirmand's Journal. You are encouraged to work through the activities right along with the confirmands and to complete the activities and writing assignments just as he or she does. By working along with your confirmand you will demonstrate the need to keep learning and growing. Topics explore the basics of Christian faith: •God •Jesus •the Holy Spirit •worship •the Bible •gifts •ministry •baptism •spiritual life •death and resurrection •the church
