Leroy Eims has hit the nail on the head with this book! My copy of it is about 10 or 11 years old and I still use it! Without a doubt, Eims has mastered one-on-one discipleship in this book. He shares with us the importance of disciple-making and how to do it correctly and systematically. He tells us what to look for in a potential disciple and the four progressive steps in the life of a Bible student: a convert, a disciple, a worker, and a leader. If you want to know the nuts and bolts of personal discipleship, this book is for you! Does anyone have his email or snail mail address? If so, please email it to me! Thanks.

As someone that has the responsibility of making Disciples I found this book to be very helpful. It reaffirmed many tried and proven methods of Disciple Making. It alos gave insight in the the process of choosing people that are ready to be discipled. It gave several lists of things that can be used in a disciple making ministry, all of them were very usefule. I hope that you find this bok as enjoyable as I did.

This famous book is an excellent introduction to the idea of disciple making, this book includes a few study guides in the back that could be used in a cooperative study with disciples. Eims is passionate to persuade people of the value of disciple making. The only unfortunate thing about this book is that it is brief, and only covers the early stages of this lost art.
- Dennis McCallum, author Organic Disciplemaking: How to promote Christian leadership development through personal relationships, biblical discipleship, mentoring, and Christian community

This is a great book for small group leaders! I found it very informative, it guides you through a serious steps and ideas to stimulate growth in yourself or the people in your group that you are mentoring. I recommend this book to everyone who has some type of leadership in the church. Easy read, very enjoyable, and very informative.

There is nobody out there teaching us this stuff. This is what we as Christians have been missing. We have to fight to learn to disciple others effectively and this is one of the best books i have ever read and one of the best places to start.

The concept of training Christians to be mature, reproducing Christians is not a new concept. Nor is it a concept that is controversial. Christians know that this is an important issue, taught and modeled not only by Jesus but by his followers throughout the New Testament. The problem lies in application. A healthy, disciple producing church can be hard to come by, and even in individual Christians' lives, the practice of discipleship can be a rare commodity. This book is valuable in that it outlines the biblical view on discipleship, but the book goes further in providing many concrete examples of how discipleship is to be pulled off. An appendix in the back is essentially a guide for discipleship meetings giving thirty important topics and the tools to be able to hold a bible study with each of these topics. A characteristic of the book that I especially appreciated and found helpful was the author's continual emphasis of the role of the Word of God in discipleship. This is the foundation for the theory of discipleship, and it is also the main tool that we use in actually performing discipleship. This book is refreshingly simple, yet challenging. It is challenging because there is amazing potential in doing biblical discipleship in our churches and in our individual lives.

The only negative I found in the book was one that I commonly struggle with when reading Christian non-fiction. At times the author appears arrogant, especially in the use of personal experiences. There was more than one story in this book about how some misguided individual was enlightened by the wise example of the author himself. This writing style always bothers me and always comes across as arrogant. Do not let this distract from the main thrust of the book, for the content of the book is valuable.

This book has challenged to change the way I think and behave as a disciple of Christ Jesus. At the same time it has been a practical guide on how to make disciples. It isn't about getting converts. To make disciples takes a grEat deal more time and effort. So, if you are interested having strong and solid believers that are good for ministry in your congregation this is the book for you.The Lost Art of Disciple Making

The book arrived in great condition. The delivery time was acceptable. This is a re-print of an older standard, still useful today.

Great Book and need to be taught to all believers. Very organized chapters and great real life examples. Soft paper and good font size, for comfy reading. I read this book when I'm spiritually unmotivated.

i read this book several years ago...
but still it touchs my heart for God.
