One of the maxims I developed years ago goes like this: As the number of leadership books increases, the number of available leaders decreases.\u00a0 It’s a cheeky way of saying that principles and techniques don’t usually transfer to the real thing.\u00a0 The same could be said for discipleship books.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve been involved in discipling men for about forty years now.\u00a0 I have also been the beneficiary of being discipled.\u00a0 I’ve certainly read a number of discipleship books…plenty for a lifetime.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So when Zondervan sent me a (unsolicited) copy of The Disciple Maker’s Handbook<\/em> I came pretty close to setting it aside.\u00a0 I decided to give it a read. I’m glad I did.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Harrington and Patrick do a terrific job of both offering practical instruction while peppering the book with thoughtful insights on discipleship.\u00a0 This is an accessible book that novices to ministries of discipleship will find most helpful.\u00a0 This kind of accessibility many times means something leans towards the superficial, but thankfully it is not the case with this book.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One of the many strengths of this book are the various exhortations and insights on being intentional when it comes to discipleship ministries.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
