A great read

I have just began reading this book and already, I am excited about the possible results, that can be achieved,

Solid, biblical, and practical

Fryling is a staffer for Intervarsity, and speaks from long experience. This book covers the basics of friendship building, modeling, and instruction that go into building up disciples. Her focus is more on grounding believers than on leadership development. - Dennis McCallum, author Organic Disciplemaking: How to promote Christian leadership development through personal relationships, biblical discipleship, mentoring, and Christian community

Discipleship not by method, but by lifestyle and action.

As a young Christian, I struggled with sharing my faith with others. I always felt as though I did not have the knowledge to witness to others and let alone disciple a young Christian. As I grew in my faith I realized that God's desire is that of a willing heart through which He can work His miracles, in His timing, and for His glory.This book has been a refreshing assurance to me that God is in control. That He has called each person who has a personal relationship with Him to be His disciple and disciple His sheep. Disciple making requires those of us who are willing to see God work through us be used by our Saviour to accomplish His kingdom purpose. Disciple-makers Handbook is an awesome book which will challenge you to seek God and be about His Great Commission.
