Walk with Me: Simple Principles for Everyday Disciplemaking
Have we over complicated, over systematized, and over formalized making disciples? When our hearts are changed by Christ, it’s natural that we should want to help others come to know Him too. And while Scripture clearly sets forth how to do so, modern Western society has formalized, professionalized, and systemized disciplemaking to a point that it seems too complicated to practice. What happened to the simple, heart-to-heart ministries of the New Testament? In Walk with Me , you’ll return to the essential biblical practices that help people grow as Christ-followers in simple, slow, and deep ways. Learn how you can connect with your neighbors, coworkers, or anyone you want to reach with the gospel in ways that are relational and Spirit-led. You’ll learn five kingdom principles that will reshape how you can pass on the

We might be tempted to assume that most of ministry is conveying information through teaching, though that is certainly not the case. In fact, the desire to create programs, groups and tracks that amount to telling people to read a book or listen to a lecture is perhaps the laziest form of discipleship. Though it is tempting, it is only so because it requires the least amount of personal sacrifice from us.
This book was remarkably helpful for me personally. The core message is that discipleship is primarily a product of living life side by side others, letting those around you see you walk through your life with Christ. This, however, requires a lot of personal sacrifice.
Discipleship ought to be based on the example Christ has given: an example of personal sacrifice, servant humility, intimate knowledge, simplicity, depth, and above all gracious patience. I wonder what our world would look like if more of us western Christians practiced a discipleship that actually costs us something, like the sacrifice of time necessary to build a personal relationship. More is caught than taught.

In Walk With Me, Bill Mowry discusses practical ways to make disciples in our everyday lives by inviting people to do life with us. He encourages us to do this on a one-on-one basis at a slow & steady pace. We are to do it in a mentoring way sharing what we are learning with those we invite to walk with us. This can be sharing both what works & what doesn’t. We aren’t to force ourselves or our beliefs on anyone, but to ask good questions to help people really think through what they believe & why they believe it. The more we get to know the person, the deeper the conversations can go, but the relationship needs to just simply start from where each person is at the time. This can be with people we know through where we live, work, & play. The approach to all of this is to have a growth mindset focusing on walking all of this out in an easy to replicate way so that those we invite to do this life with us with in turn do the same with others to continue doing the same with yet more. This book had lots of practical applicable knowledge, but it really didn’t hold my attention, which in turn made it hard for me to finish. I will use it more as a reference for the application tips.

TL;DR - How to disciple as a regular believer in an age of over-stimulation.
I don't often hand out a 5-star rating as I can usually, probably overly critically, put some undue bias or perception on a book and cause it to fall to 4. I couldn't with this merely because I could not agree more with the Author.
The church, and the American church particularly, is over-programmed and over-stimulated. Churches creating class, after group, after program, after activity often marvel at the lack of depth of the individual congregant for the breadth of stuff they offer. We've lost the plot...
In this book Bill Mowry strips 95% of that veneer away to show us how Jesus discipled, and how we can apply that, practically, today. I read this twice. Once because I could in less than 4 hours. Twice over 2 weeks to make sure I had digested what it said. As a youth group mentor I found this refreshing, encouraging, and challenging.
This short, humble, book is filled with down-to-earth, simple, effective tools anyone (ANYONE! The Mdiv to the "What's an Mdiv?") who follows after Jesus can use to come alongside someone and walk with Him together.

Bill Mowry's "Walk With Me" offers advice on how to disciple others and connect them to Jesus. He also shows readers how to mentor others to disciple soon-to-be followers of Christ. Sometimes we make things harder and more intimidating than necessary. Mowry encourages us to invite others to walk with us as we walk with God. By walking together, we both grow in our faith and learn how to better serve and love others.
"Walk With Me" is a must-read for anyone looking to mentor someone as well as how to be mentored by someone else. It is a very well-written and encouraging book for Christians who want to lead others to a relationship with God.

Great book for a home study or Sunday school
I really enjoyed this book. The author gave some very practical advice for building disciples and sharing our faith in a very welcoming manner. This would be a great book for a home bible study group or adult Sunday school class that is focused on discipleship.

Great book on disciple making! I have the joy of being a downstream disciple of Bill Mowry and am so thankful for the ministry he has shared since it has not only poured into my life through my mentor Lou, but I am also blessed to be able to share by walking with others as well!

Very good job explaining discipleship from a biblical viewpoint, extracting it from worldly expectations. Left the book with a lot of encouragement and ideas.
