​All churches want to grow disciples with a real growing faith in Jesus Christ, not just members committed to a religious institution. But only a few churches seem to know how to make disciples.
​

Finally... there is a resource that invites individuals and small groups into a process of discovering a maturing relationship as disciples of Jesus Christ. This interactive guide provides six months of engaging activities (devotional, relational, educational, developmental, and practical) around six key dimensions of discipleship:
  • A Life of Worship
  • A Life of Hospitality
  • A Life Opening to Jesus
  • A Life Obeying Jesus
  • A Life of Service
  • A Life of Generosity
Each dimension of discipleship is experienced through daily, Scripture-based meditations and exercises in which participants explore the nuances of a lifestyle that encompasses each of these dimensions. And as each section of the book is completed, the activities grow in their level of engagement as participants move through the phases of development toward a deeper understanding of true discipleship.

A great how-to resource for discovering the basics and beyond of living more fully as disciples. Discipler is designed to be used in partnership with a spiritual friend, a discipleship coach, an apprenticing relationship, or a mentoring relationship, and it also works great as a small group study. It uses provocative, experiential exercises to challenge what we think we know about discipleship and invite deeper reflection for those just starting their journey as followers of Jesus, as well as those who think they’ve got it all figured out.
