1-2-1 Discipleship is a wonderfully straightforward and practical book designed to help each of us rise to the challenge of discipling others – a task that is too often left to church leaders, so-called experts and keenies only.
It helps remove any fear factor or sense of being too daunted to get involved in disci-pling others by providing clear guidelines on the ‘how to’ of discipleship. For example Christine offers advice on encouraging someone in prayer and personal Bible study, on where and when and even who to disciple, leaving the reader with no excuses about being unsure of what to do.
This book helpfully reminds us that as Christians we all have a responsibility to disciple others, to take the opportunities that God provides, and not to shy from the task for fear of not being good enough. Christine encourages her readers to have confidence as we disciple others because God’s Word and his Spirit are powerful and can change lives.
And of course as we get involved in disci-pleship so we find our own faith stretched, challenged and deepened.
This book is biblical, easy to read, extremely practical, and has useful questions for reflection. It’s enough to get your teeth into if you’ve been involved in discipling already, but not overwhelming if you’re thinking of taking up the challenge and need some help.I strongly recommend it.
