Jesus Christ, Disciplemaker
Overview
When Jesus called his disciples, he embraced fishermen and tax collectors and turned them into some of the most influential men to ever live. Can modern church leaders empower regular people to meet their potential as servants of God?
The standard resource in disciple-making for over 20 years, Jesus Christ, Disciplemaker outlines Christ’s methods in training his 12 disciples and presents a biblical pattern that emulates Christ’s model for reaching the lost. This updated edition includes new insights from the author’s 20 years of helping churches make disciples from ordinary church members.

Top Highlights
“We should train to be godly, instead of trying to be godly.” (Page 20)
“The right question teacher and student alike should be asking is, ‘Am I learning?’ And learning means application; learning is transformation; learning is creating a new attitude and behavior in the inner person.” (Page 16)
“A vital principle of discipleship emerges at this point: Do not recruit people for anything without first allowing them to have their curiosity assuaged.” (Page 33)
“The third basic characteristic of a disciple is that he or she bears spiritual fruit.” (Page 25)
“The second dimension is doing what he did in the practice of personal transformation, his practice in prayer, silence and solitude, fasting, frugality, chastity, service, and stewardship. The third dimension is doing what he did as he worked with those who followed him.” (Page 12)
In the last 12 years, I have used this book to return over one thousand US churches and hundreds of church overseas to their disciple-making roots. Next to the Bible, Jesus Christ, Disciplemaker contains the most important concepts ever written to equip local church to effectively make disciples. I cannot urge you strongly enough to read this book and use it to transform your church and your life.

So many churches today are experiencing spiritual coronaries because they place all their effort on ‘going to church’ and ‘doing church’ but not ‘being the church.’ Bill Hull shows not only why but how to place discipling at the heart of the church’s cardiovascular system to develop missional communities of faith. I love this book because it puts some spiritual teeth back into why disciple-making is the purpose of the church and the task of any spiritual leader.
—Randall K. Knutson, consultant, Church Resource Ministries
Bill Hull challenges our notions of who makes disciples, how long it takes, the learning process, and the end result. This book wonderfully shows how open and loving relationships were at the core of Jesus’ own disciple-making while he walked this earth, and how they are still key as he makes disciples today. His understanding is a needed voice to hear in doing ministry in the twenty-first century, especially for those who want to reach our nation and the nations.
—Alan Andrews, president, US Navigators
In this book Bill articulates a proven method of equipping leaders who will follow Jesus’ original pattern in preparing the Twelve for their leadership role in the early church. As the church around the world unites to ‘make disciples of all the nations,’ Jesus Christ, Disciplemaker will be an important roadmap that will keep us all true to Jesus’ vision.
