Make Disciples That Make Disciples Tim Garland

The church does great things in the name of Jesus-feed the hungry, clothe the naked, put roofs over the heads of the homeless, fight for civil rights, provide for the needs of children, and many more good deeds. These acts are living out the hands and feet of Jesus to a lost world, meeting these immediate needs. These acts Glorify God, however, are they fulfilling the 'great commission.' This book was written primarily as a means of teaching how to make disciples that make disciples. How do we fulfill the great commission? Should the great commission be the mission of the church? Is it in mine? Why not?This book was designed with small same gender groups in mind. After the first 7 chapters explaining what discipleship is and how to do it, each chapter thereafter fills in the content of discipleship. Chapters 8-28 each have seven verses listed at the end of the chapter for further study on the topic of the chapter. To best utilize this book as a training manual, I advise each person to use those seven verses as their personal time alone with God verse of the day. If you followed the plan of each verse at the end of the chapter as daily bible study and read one chapter per week then this book would cover approximately 6 months of training. My hope is that each person who takes this training manual serious would then take others through the same training... that we would make disciples that make disciples.
