Comments from people who have used this material:
"Many of us are already convinced that the individual discipling of another person is one of the most fruitful investments we can make. Yet we hesitate, deterred by our lack of experience. What would we do? we worry. Our insecurities stop us in our tracks. In this book, Scott Morton draws on a lifetime of experience to give readers the practical help they need to disciple others."
- Jim Petersen, missionary and author of Church Without Walls and Living Proof

"Scott Morton is an experienced discipler and writes in a reader-friendly fashion. This book will be helpful for both those just beginning a discipling ministry and those who are already experienced."
- Jerry Bridges, best-selling author of The Pursuit of Holiness and The Gospel for Real Life
Description
AT LAST, A DISCIPLING GUIDE ANYBODY CAN USE.

When somebody uses the "d" word, do you mentally shudder and draw back? Talking about discipling others can do that to Christians. We're happily involved in church and Bible studies, but it's unnerving to share Christ with people or mentor new believers. We'd rather leave that to the gung-hop types.

At last, here's a personal ministry book that anybody can use. It's a practical, friendly, workable guide to everything you need to know about discipling without terrifying you or those you want to reach. You could think of it as a "discipleship for dummies" book. It breaks out discipling into simple, manageable steps, based firmly on biblical principles about reaching your world for Christ.

"God can use anybody with a willing heart," says author Scott Morton, who describes himself as "not gifted" in discipling but has learned from his mistakes. Forged through experience, his realistic approach will inspire you to develop enduring relationships - the kind that touch people's deep needs and make a one-to-one difference.

So don't be reluctant, scared, or worried about discipling. Just be a down-to-earth discipler. It works.
