Is your church making disciples . . . who make disciples . . . who make disciples? Is your membership dwindling? Are you growing only at the expense of a smaller church? It’s time to reexamine your methods of discipleship. But how do you effectively disciple an entire body? It’s not about making converts. The responsibility falls to every believer in your fellowship to create intentional followers of Christ, who in turn create other intentional followers.
Real-Life Discipleship explains what should happen in the life of every Christian and in every small group so that the church becomes an army of believers dedicated to seeing the world saved.

Discover what the Bible says about true and effective discipleship with these strategies and practices.

You must read this book! Five years ago, I was asked to consult with Real Life Ministries about the Bible-storying component of making disciples. I wondered if it were possible to disciple a whole congregation. Real Life Ministries is the real deal. Jim Putman, in this easy-to-read book about real people, tells the story and shows how they did it and how you can do it. Get it and build your church into a disciple-making church.
