Transforming Discipleship

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. That may be because we are not effectively discipling the people we already have. I 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.

I set forth this 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.
