The Disciple Story: The Transforming Power of Scripture

Ask anyone who has taken the Disciple Bible study to share his/her experiences and be prepared for an afternoon full of stories and memories. For those who have taken the study, Disciple is life changing. Careers are changed. Forgiveness is found. Friendships are made. And, perhaps the most important, the Scriptures come alive and the participants can no longer remain casual observers of their communities, cities, nations, or the world.In "The Disciple Story: The Transforming power of Scripture", Nancy Kruh writes about these people. She introduces us to teachers, students, businessmen and women, ministers, convicts, young and old people -- all whose lives have changed because of taking the Bible study. In a refreshing and easy to read style, Ms. Kruh tells their powerful stories of trust, recommitment, and becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.The book is divided into ten chapters and tackles such themes as transformed lives, mission work, revivals in churches, and Disciple's impact on the younger generation. Among the dozens of stories, the book talks about a couple's recommitment to their marriage, a student's coming to terms with his past, a businessman's successful business, and people who received the call to ordained ministry. The book also covers the incredible story of how the Disciple series came about and its impact around the world.Introduced in 1987, Disciple is a 34-week Bible study that is divided equally between the Old and New testaments. Students are required to be in study about an hour a day in preparation for the two-hour weekly class meeting. The classes, which have no more than 12 people in them, form tight bonds while teaching, praying, and fellowshipping with each other. As a Disciple graduate, I loved this book. I felt a kingship with each person featured in this book, and I discovered yet another lesson in being a disciple of Jesus Christ. I have brothers and sisters who have struggled with and read the same Bible and study material as I have. For me, this book tied together my Disciple experience. Whether you are a Disciple graduate or considering taking the class, this book will inspire you.
