The Ways of the Alongsider: Growing Disciples Life to Life - Paperback

by Bill Mowry (Author)

Learn to live out the Great Commission in simple, relational ways.

Disciple-making can be intimidating. You might think that someone who makes disciples has to be a teacher, a missionary, or someone who is seminary trained. Would it surprise you to know that disciple-making is just a lifestyle in which you offer people love, comfort, and encouragement where they live, work, and play?

Despite our weaknesses and fears, Jesus invites us to participate in the Great Commission by helping people live for Christ in the here and now. All you have to do is live intentionally, love God, and journey alongside others―life to life.

This ten-week Bible study with discussion questions spells out the "how" of making disciples through an alongsider approach to life. Discover and apply the practices of an alongsider, such as reading the Bible with others, asking questions, telling stories, encouraging application, and living on mission.

This Bible study workbook:

• Can be used in church classes, small groups, or one-on-one discipleship
• Is filled with helpful graphics and illustrations throughout
• Fully equips people to disciple others
• Includes a leader's guide

Discover a practical approach to building authentic relationships and a lifestyle of spiritual growth.
