Practical and challenging study to develop the heart and habits of a discipler, Nov 12 2010
By Laurence T. Baxter "Step Up to the Call" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Finding Hollywood Nobody: A Novel (Paperback)
The subtitle, 'Equipping Disciples Who Make Disciples' sums up the purpose of the book, with an approach seeking to reform the small group ministry within a church. It aims to help small group leaders develop as disciplers with their head, heart and hands - learning what a disciple is and how they grow, becoming an intentional leader in the process.The term 'training manual' is an apt description - this is no casual small group study. The manual lays out twelve key topics spanning twelve weeks, and each member will need to spend 20-30 minutes a day for five days a week in preparation outside of small group time. There is a leader's guide in the back which helps the group leader to plan and work out a 90 minute study that includes shepherding, vision casting, discussion, coaching, application and practice.
Topics include: the heart of a discipler, what is a disciple, how disciples grow, three keys to making a disciple, how to be an intentional leader, a closer look at a relational environment, a closer look at the reproducible process, being intentional with the spiritually dead and spiritual infants (Share), helping spiritual children grow (Connect), helping young adults help others (Minister), being intentional with spiritual parents (Disciple), and a tool for study called storying.
The Real-Life Discipleship Training Manual is a practical workbook that would be ideal to first apply as a pastor with small group leaders. I don't get the sense it's intended for direct use within a typical small group with a mix of spiritual infants, children and spiritual young adults or parents. If your team can make the commitment to study and discuss the discipleship process laid out here, it would likely be of great benefit to your church. The question that remains in my mind even after reading the manual - how do you actually pull this off with a mixed bag of small group members who feel their lives are already out-of-control busy?

Highly valuable to develop leaders, April 27 2012

This review is from: Finding Hollywood Nobody: A Novel (Paperback)
I have used this workbook with multiple small groups and it has been very valuable. I do not recommend using it with a mixed group of people who are at different stages in their spiritual development. This workbook is most valuable when used with those who are highly motivated to be used by God in a relational context to influence others. Use it with leaders who want to influence others in their spiritual development. Warning this workbook will make you think differently about what it means to be a Christian and disciple others. If your idea of discipleship is sitting around with a bunch of other Christians discussing obscure aspects of theology or having an innocent Bible study with little life change then this will challenge you. Great workbook for a pastor to use with his deacon or elder board.

Just what is needed, April 8 2011

This review is from: Finding Hollywood Nobody: A Novel (Paperback)
The book in the introductory material states that one will need 20-35 minutes each day to complete each lesson. There are five parts to each weekly lesson. There are 12 lessons. The author claims to be using the book in his church to make disciples. It is for training people to intentionally make disciples.
