Meaning of Discipileship

This book was selected for reading by our whole congregation and used for discussion in many venues. It is full of God's grace. If you accept God's grace, which we Lutherans do, then what does that mean we should do? Stand aside and let the world go by? Hardly, you pray, you study, you give, you help your fellow man. The "Six Marks" is a wonderful guide to what is expected after you say, I believe. With God's grace, we can help make this a better world.

growing as disciples of Christ

Our church uses Real Faith for Real Life as part of our discipleship program for new members. The book is well-received by those attending discipleship classes. The narrative format, personal insights, and questions for reflection are a helpful addition to the other written materials we use. The book presents discipleship in a way that is inviting, personal, approachable, and realistic. We have received good comments on the book from both new Christians and mature believers.

Discipleship spelled out

I am a pastor and was looking for a practical resource that could be recommended to laity within the church. Michael Foss has created a very user friendly guide to spiritual disciplines that takes the mystery out of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Each mark of discipleship has its own chapter, and each chapter is broken down into smaller sections that are convenient for individual reflection and small group study. And best of all, it is Biblical.
