Disciplemakers' Handbook: Helping People Grow in Christ

by Alice Fryling (Editor)

How can you help others grow in their faith? What does a healthy discipling relationship look like? What do you do together? In order to answer these and other questions, Alice Fryling gathered a team of experienced disciplemakers. Together they give us practical help in such areas as overcoming our fears about discipling others, beginning a discipling relationship, how to be a friend, learning how people change, modeling the Christian life, using Scripture in disciplemaking, how to help a friend who hurts, and helping others share their faith. Many chapters include time-tested resources you can use in discipling relationships. A handbook for those who need help and encouragement in reaching out to others.

Reviews

[Stephanie Clark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nothing in here that was mind blowing. Decent book though and very practical on the importance of investing in lives.

[David Frett · Rating 2 out of 5]

Has a few good points and resources, but not a very engaging read. You can tell this book is dated

[Brendon Desrochers · Rating 3 out of 5]

This style of book is difficult for most people to read because it forces the reader to engage, think, even answer questions and reflect. This is not for the passive reader.

This equips the discipler with the tools, biblical grounding and motivation necessary to create one-on-one discipleship relationships.

This is geared specifically to college students or people who work with college students, but it is translatable to post-college adults as well.

The writing was clear and functional.

I'm wavering between a 3 or a 4.
