DISCIPLESHIP

This book is a must-read for every Christian desiring to deepen and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.The author provides a renewed insight for the church and for individuals into being and making disciples by going back to the historic roots of the word, "e;disciple,"e; i.e., what it meant in ancient times. He also demonstrates what Jesus really meant when He said, "e;Go, make disciples."e; Mr. Beisheim also shows how the word and concept have become distorted and watered down in all but a few churches in America. In today's world, it is just a concept or a course or a program, using terms like mentoring or coaching; you will find it is so much more.The author does this by redefining what the word "e;disciple"e; and "e;making disciples"e; really means. Then, the author explains Jesus's only two commands: love God and love one another. Finally, the author spends time on what to teach others--ways in which you and Christ can really dive deep and get to know each other.The result is a radically renewed way of thinking about being a disciple (not merely an occasional churchgoer) and making disciples and life itself and how this concept can shape a way of living that affects every relationship you have. This is not some concept that worked only in Jesus's day, but one which works today in our world as illustrated and attested to by the author.2
