A Call to Discipleship

by Susan J. Heck

Sometimes we get so comfortable in our Christian lives that we forget we are called by Jesus to go out and make disciples and teach them about Him (Matthew 28:18-20). This book defines Christian discipleship, and outlines what, where, when and how to put it into practice.

Susan Heck is a wonderful example of a follower of Christ faithfully and intentionally living out the commands in scripture. In this booklet on discipleship she shares what discipleship is and that it *is* a command for all believers to be doing. She also shares a bit of how she disciples...how she does it is not law! and she says that in essence. Many people think discipleship is to be done a specific programmed way and unfortunately many don't disciple or seek to be discipled because of this legalistic way of thinking. I appreciate Susan's laid-back, genuine way of communicating biblical truths. There's no fluff, that's a good thing. If you want to be encouraged to disciple read this very short booklet and then find someone to disciple (teach a younger woman how to live out the scriptures) or someone to disciple you.

Very encouraging book on discipleship. I hope that more women (myself included) and convicted to pursue discipleship as it is commanded in scripture.

6/14/2022 * 3.5 stars, rounded down to 3 because I didn't think it was a 4 star booklet.

Short, good little booklet on women discipling younger women. Makes several good points.

This book was like a breath of fresh air on the matter of discipleship and its need within the church, specifically on older women discipling younger women. Very quick read, I finished it in one sitting. I know I’ll be referencing this resource plenty throughout my days.

This is a great booklet that may be concise, but it packs a punch. Heck lays the foundation of why we need biblical discipleship and provides brief and clear instructions as to how we can go about it in our churches.
