Description
Letters to Garret is a unique compilation of insights on life-on-life discipleship unlike anything available today coming from someone with 30+ years of experience "in the trenches." It is a very practical tool that highlights the key issues - accompanied by everyday wisdom - that come up in the intentional process of disciple-making. No easy answers and no formulaic success principles. Just real life. It is a ready companion to keep the disciple-maker going when "stumped" or wanting to add some creativity to their gatherings. This is a must read for anyone looking to move into a discipling relationship and is essential reading for anyone who thinks discipleship is simply a program.

Matthew Eckert has done all of us an enormous favor by producing this 'coach's guide' to growing reproducing disciples. All I can say is, "Matthew, where were you when I needed you"? I wish I would have had years ago this very practical tool that highlights the key issues accompanied by everyday wisdom that come up in the intentional process of disciple-making. I will personally add this guide to my small arsenal of necessary resources. - Greg Ogden , Writer, Speaker, Teacher on Discipleship.

Matt understands that discipleship is wrapped in relationships that are willing 'to go the distance. Life on life for the long haul stuff '. So it is no wonder that the truths he packs into this short book have those qualities. No easy answers and no formulaic success principles. Just real life. This is a must read fore anyone looking to move into a discipleship relationship. It is essential reading for anyone who thinks discipleship is simply a program." - Gary V Nelson President Tyndale University, College & Seminary and Author Borderland Churches.
