Why are preachers hesitant to proclaim the message of discipleship? Because it will reduce the numbers in their congregations. But what they don’t realise is that the quality of their churches will become far better!!When Jesus preached discipleship to the multitudes, it soon dwindled down to a handful of only eleven disciples. The others found the message too hard, and left Him. But it was with those eleven disciples who stayed on with Him, that He accomplished His purposes in the world finally.As Christ’s Body on earth today, we are called to carry on the same ministry that those apostles commenced in the first century. To understand how to do that, read this book…

A great read on what it means to practically be a disciple of Jesus. I appreciated the section on Discipleship in the Home and what that looks like. The section on money was also helpful. I recommend this book if you are a believer looking to become a disciple.
