Organic Disciples: Seven Ways to Grow Spiritually and Naturally Share Jesus

by Kevin G. Harney, Sherry Harney

Could sharing your faith be the secret to developing your spiritual maturity? For many followers of Jesus, discipleship means doing certain things to deepen our connection with Jesus Christ. But our spiritual growth checklists are often disconnected from the mission of reaching a lost world with the gospel message. Taking a holistic approach that unites evangelism and discipleship, Kevin and Sherry Harney demonstrate how God's plan for our spiritual growth is intimately connected to his mission to the world. In Organic Disciples , the couple lead ordinary followers of Jesus through seven markers of spiritual maturity, showing how simple shifts in our Bible reading, prayer, community life, giving, service, and other biblical practices can connect us with God's work of reaching people with his love. You'll Along with the Organic Disciples book, churches and individuals can utilize a free, self-directed online tool at OrganicOutreach.com to help each person identify where they are in their growth journey. Also look for eight-session small group curriculum— Organic Disciples Study Guide (9780310139089)—to take congregations and Christians deeper on this journey.

I really loved this book. Very encouraging and highly practical about sharing your faith where you are. I intend to read through a second time.

I’ve known Kevin for a long time, and this book reflects his heart. He aches for people who are far from God to get to know the Jesus he loves so much. Sharing the gospel is in his bones. The whole Organic Outreach Series was developed to help us share the Good News naturally and Organic Disciples is the next step in that process.

No one is better equipped to lead us and our congregations down the path to connecting with the spiritually curious. His writing is biblical, logical, practical, and applicable to our everyday lives. As only Kevin can, he seamlessly connects discipleship and evangelism. He challenges us to go deeper in our faith in a way that naturally leads us to sharing Jesus with the people we meet every day. This book has the potential to not only change our congregations, but to change our communities as well.

This book by California pastors Kevin and Sherry Harney link interpersonal evangelism to seven common spiritual disciplines. I'm looking forward to teaching from this text this coming semester. Highly recommended.
