Evangelism or Discipleship: Can They Effectively Work Together?
Evangelism and discipleship are not two things; they are one. Jesus has commanded us to “make disciples.” In this new eBook, veteran discipleship leaders Bobby Harrington and Bill Hull focus on the need for leaders to bring together discipleship and evangelism and plant churches with that mindset. The two authors offer Bible-based insights into how evangelism and discipleship work together to accomplish the Great Commission, sharing stories and examples of leaders and churches that have successfully brought the two together for kingdom impact.
Jesus’ Matthew 28 commandment included the expectation of reproduction—that new disciples would become well-taught disciples who would in turn embrace the mission and make other new disciples. Anything less is to sabotage the master plan. Evangelism is simply a form of pre-conversion discipleship. When we engage in this disciple-making process, Jesus tells us that He will be present with us—to the end of the age (Matt. 28:20).
Key highlights:
Helpful observations of the state of evangelism and discipleship in the West
The theological significance of discipleship and how it encompasses evangelism.
Experienced perspective from two veteran leaders on how evangelism and discipleship work together effectively
Thorough study of the gospel and how a proper understanding of Jesus as the gospel helps us connect evangelism and conversion to discipleship?
How the concept of a covenant commitment is important in the linkage of evangelism and discipleship
Three questions of the Matt. 28: 18-20 passage critical to understanding how evangelism and discipleship work together
The role of accountability in disciple making
Three primary characteristics of a disciple-making church
Six core insights into why and how the saints must be equipped based on Eph. 4:11-16

We all need to take a hard look at the Evangelism & Discipleship question in our lives. According to the scriptures we are 'mandated' and 'empowered' to make disciples of every nation and to teach them to observe all things Jesus commanded us to do. Both evangelism and Discipleship work hand-in-hand. And further aid us in our apologist understandings of the Word of God.

Both
Hull and Harrington do a great job maintaining the legitimacy of both evangelism and discipleship. That is rare in a book on discipleship. Most of them minimize and functionally dismiss evangelism. Not Hull and Harrington. Excellent book.
