Warning: This book is "unorthodox" That is, it's not like most discipleship guides that only focus on the right doctrines to believe (i.e., orthodoxy), but instead teaches how to develop a Christ-like character based on eight disciplines from 2 Peter 1:3 - 11.
This small guide of twelve lessons is designed to help new and seasoned Christians cultivate a discipling relationship. The biblically based content explains very deep spiritual concepts with simplicity by using many illustrations that can help a new Christian grow to become like Christ.
Who can benefit from this guide?
New Believers can learn the core fundamentals of the gospel in an easy way to help solidify their new-found faith and develop the necessary disciplines toward building Christ-like character.Mature Christians can have a fresh reminder of the power and simplicity of the gospel to further deepen their faith in Christ as well as learn a simple method to disciple new and younger Christians.Pastors can use it as a consistent, biblically-based method and message for their congregation of believers to learn and teach the gospel without getting entangled by doctrinal debates that may distract them from the true gospel.
