Disciples Are Made Not Born [Paperback]

Walter A. Henrichsen (Author), Howard G. Hendricks (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 23, 2002

"Make Disciples."

Jesus' command is clear. But what is a disciple? And how are we to "make" them?

Based on decades of experience, this book explains and illustrates the process of disciple-making that Jesus taught and modeled. First published in 1974, its practical, biblical approach has revolutionized the ministry of hundreds of thousands of Christians as they learned how to multiply themselves in the lives of others.

Disciple-making is challenging, to be sure. But as we are faithful to Christ's Great Commission, we'll experience the fulfillment that comes from being faithful to the life mission to which God has called us.

26 years ago I started using the principles Walt develops in this classic. Of the scores of books I have read on mentoring, discipling, follow-up, I regard this one as the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must for every Christian's library!, October 20, 1998

This review is from: Disciples Are Made Not Born (Paperback)

This book should be in every Christian's library of resources. After discipling college students for about 15 years, this is the book I use most often to introduce students to discipleship. Henrichsen clearly demonstrates the ability of addressing many of the necessary aspects of discipleship. While this book includes great theology, it is written for those Christians who are desiring to "prove themselves do-ers of the Word, not mearly hear-ers." If you are interested in impacting eternity by investing in the lives of other Christians, then you need this book!
