Transforming Discipleship: Making Disciples a Few at a
Time
By Greg Ogden
Some churches often succeed at welcoming newcomers while failing to nurture more
established members. Arguing that disciple-making fuels the fire of healthy
expansion, Ogden explores the few-at-a-time methods of Jesus and Paul as the
best model for kindling the flame. He offers church leaders practical advice for
implementing biblically sound, self-replicating discipleship-driven development.
180 pages, softcover from InterVarsity.

The Spirit of the Disciplines: Understanding How God Changes Lives
By Dallas Willard
Believers long for personal purity and power to live as our hearts tell us we should. But how does God change us? Willard reminds us that we can be like Christ if we follow his style of life: solitude and silence, prayer, simple and sacrificial living, meditation on God's Word, and service to others. The practice of these disciplines is how God guides us into a constant interaction with his kingdom. "Few books have challenged me like this one. I would urge every serious minded Christian to read it...at your own risk."---Bill Hybels, author of Honest to God?.
