Product Description A year 2000 Finalist in the ECPA book competition! We grow in Christ as we seek him together. Jesus' own pattern of disciple-making was to be intimately involved with others and allow life to rub against life. By gathering in twos or threes to study the Bible and encourage one another, we most closely follow Jesus' example with the twelve disciples. This workbook is a tool designed to help you follow the pattern Jesus drew for us. Working through it will deepen your knowledge of essential Christian teaching and strengthen your faith. Divided into weekly sessions Discipleship Essentials is ideal for groups of three or four. It has also been used successfully as an individual study program, as a one-to-one discipling tool and as small group curriculum. Each week you will discover * a core truth presented in question/answer format * a memory verse and application study * an field-tested inductive Bible study * a reading on the theme for the week * questions to draw out key principles from the reading Jesus had a big enough vision to think small. Focusing on a few did not limit his influence. Rather, it expanded it! Discipleship Essentials will help you influence others as Jesus did--by investing wholeheartedly in a few. Features & Benefits * 24 weekly sessions for developing spiritual maturity * sessions cover key disciplines, basic beliefs, essential character traits and important activities of the Christian life * practical * innovative * workbook format with space for writing questions, responses and prayers * ideal material to study with one or two others * usable in small groups and for one-to-one discipleship | ||

Back to the basics of Discipleship! Dr. Ogden has given the church, and especailly pastors who see the command to disciple, a great tool. Discipleship Essentials provides a frameword where "life on life" discipleship can take place. It is the catyist that allows men and women to go deeper in their relationship with Christ, and also growing together toward the goal of being reproducing disciples of the Savior. Hats off to Dr. Ogden! Doc, you're the real deal, thanks for serving the Savior with your fine work! PC - Amery, WI | ||
An Incredible Tool for Making Disciples I'm two months into Discipleship Essentials with two other men, and I'm already seeing amazing results. This is by far the most effective approach to disciple making that I have ever experienced. It has revolutionized my ministry and given me a do-able, long-term strategy for training leaders and growing our local church. I also highly recommend reading Ogden's Transforming Discipleship: Making Disciples a Few at a Time before launching your own discipleship group. | ||
Creative Ideas Greg has spent a lot of time creating study ideas for sessions with disciples. This is a practical curriculum for disciplemaking involving engagement with scripture, discussion, and issues to pray for. It's a book I would recommend for people looking for study ideas. -Dennis McCallum, author Organic Disciplemaking: Mentoring Others Into Spiritual Maturity And Leadership | ||
The Great Commission Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:18-20 to go and make disciples of all nations. This book helps do just that. It guides a person through the process of becoming a mature disciple of Jesus Christ. More than that, it is helping create strong intimate relationships between people. This is something that disciples need to do but we are often "too busy" to do. | ||
Excellent resource I have used Discipleship Essentials with two different triads over the past two years and found it to be wonderful and effective in deepening spiritual maturity. | ||
