What does Christian Discipleship look like in practice?
This 12-session discipleship course, perfect for individuals or groups, looks at how the gospel and God's grace can shape our attitude towards church, Bible reading, prayer, suffering, how to use our money and many other aspects of life.
Incorporating Bible study, clear explanations and thought-provoking discussion questions, these sessions can be completed in around an hour and are designed to be used flexibly in different contexts: individually, in small groups or one-to-one.
Includes plenty of material to engage mature Christians as well ...as new believers, and an emphasis on practical, real-life application to help people follow Jesus in every area of their lives.
Makes a useful baptism or confirmation gift.

I have loved using this book, especially with new believers. Chester has an amazing knack of communicating deep, rich, biblically sound theology in a way that's really simple and accessible, and obviously relevant to real life as a disciple.
Every week my mentee seems to arrive saying "This was exactly what I needed to hear this week!"
Each chapter is based closely on a Bible passage with various really helpful questions, but it's more than just a study book, the concise sections of explanation do a fantastic job of just laying clear, healthy biblical foundations for our approach to these ...vital topics.
I would highly recommend, especially for going through with a new believer.

This is a very helpful and straightforward guide to introducing new believers to what it means to live and grow as a Christian.
We are using this book for discipleship groups in our church. I like that it comes from a reformed understanding of the Bible and it assumes participation in home groups. The only aspect I would say that is missing is that there is no inclusion of scripture memorization. Therefore, we supplemented with a scripture memory verse for each chapter (and that’s the only reason for 4 stars).
