Brave New Discipleship: Cultivating Scripture-driven Christians in a Culture-driven World
Overview
Many Christians may find today’s world to be spiritually hostile. In a social climate that begs spirituality to take a backseat to cultural demands, there is a need for a new discipleship model.
Rather than a guide for discipleship, Brave New Discipleship lays out the biblical principles that should be followed, no matter what book or discipleship method the reader might choose to use. Max Anders integrates the best of modern educational research to guide the most effective discipleship strategy possible. Anders searches Scripture and sheds light on what is negotiable and what is not for modern ministry. For the reader looking for biblically sound ways to grow his or her church, Brave New Discipleship is a must-read.
