Mentor Member Book: How Along-the-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life

by Chuck Lawless

How Along-the-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life - Member Book  by  Chuck Lawless  explores mentoring as a God-given relationship where one growing believer encourages and equips another to reach his or her potential as a disciple. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus and His disciples and Paul and Timothy, Lawless examines the life-transforming process of a mentoring relationship. This study is both a practical and spiritual guide to biblical mentoring, providing easy-to-model life application for how to have and be a mentor. Lawless combines personal examples from his life with in-depth Bible study and practical how-to’s (and how-not-to’s) you can apply right away. Mentoring is a vital aspect of true discipleship, and it all begins with a desire to grow. (6 Sessions) Everyone desires deep, meaningful connection with others. Everyone. But to mentor or be mentored in the Christian context can change the course of your life. Something powerful happens when you do life with someone in a position to spiritually lead and influence you — or when you do the same for others. Chuck Lawless is vice president for Global Theological Advance of the International Mission Board. He formerly served as dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions and Evangelism at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor of two Ohio churches. The author of several books, including Spiritual Biblical Truth for Victory, Discipled Warriors, and Putting on the Armor, Dr. Lawless is also president of the Lawless Group, a church consulting firm.

Read for a seminary class on discipleship. Helpful and engaging, but felt like it could have been a few articles rather than a whole book.

If you’re unfamiliar with the idea of personal discipleship and are looking for a practical guide, this is a good place to start. Lawless has a more balanced approach then some, which I appreciate.

Helpful discipleship resource for refining one's own practice and theory of spiritual multiplication and for training disciples who will replicate the model and disciple others.
