Disciples Are Made Not Born: Helping Others Grow to Maturity in Christ
"Make Disciples."
Jesus' command is clear. But what is a disciple? And how are we to "make" them?
Based on decades of experience, this book explains and illustrates the process of disciple-making that Jesus taught and modeled. First published in 1974, its practical, biblical approach has revolutionized the ministry of hundreds of thousands of Christians as they learned how to multiply themselves in the lives of others.
Disciple-making is challenging, to be sure. But as we are faithful to Christ's Great Commission, we'll experience the fulfillment that comes from being faithful to the life mission to which God has called us.
Top Highlights
“The disciple-maker, however, seeks to invest his life in another to help that person accomplish his own vision.” (source)
“Whatever your vocation is, it must never be your life objective; for your vocation, no matter how noble it may be, is, in the final analysis, temporal. The Scriptures teach us that we are to give our lives to the eternal and not to the temporal. A faithful man is a man who has chosen eternal objectives for his life.” (source)
“Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigators, used to say, ‘Activity is no substitute for production. Production is no substitute for reproduction.’ Whatever ministry we are engaged in, it ought to be reproductive.” (source)
“I believe it was St. Jerome who said that the Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever touching the bottom.” (source)
“C. S. Lewis said it: ‘All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.’” (source)
