A Disciple's Path Leader Guide with CD-ROM: Deepening Your Relationship with Christ and the Church
A Disciple’s Path is an engaging approach to discipleship from a distinctly Wesleyan perspective. Whether used as an introduction for new members or a renewal course for existing members, the program guides individuals to take the next step in discipleship and become dynamic, engaged followers of Jesus Christ.
The study combines a Wesleyan understanding of our growth in God’s love and grace with the time-tested practices of spiritual discipline expressed in the membership vows to uphold the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Participants will develop spiritual practices, discover their unique gifts, and become engaged in ministry that brings transformation in their own lives, the lives of others, and the world.
This Leader Guide provides group facilitators with helpful tips for leading a group, material for leading an introductory session or pastor’s coffee, six ready-to-use session guides, and previews of the CD-ROM contents. The CD-ROM, which is included with this guide,
· Sample e-mails
· Handouts, including customizable templates that can be modified for any congregation
· Two PowerPoint presentations

This study has potential, but the history and the theology get Methodism and Wesleyan thought wrong in several ways. The leader's manual is also poorly designed. The lesson plans are often poorly sequenced. The first lesson in particular made little sense and needs to be completely rewritten.
