An Important Guide on Nurturing and Making Disciples

"David Arnold's "Discipleship Manual" is an invaluable tool for training and developing. Nurturing and mentoring Christian disciples preparing them for entering the heat of battle on the front lines of spiritual warfare.

David's methods tried and proven approach provides effective leadership principles, and God given precepts impart a plan for spiritual growth which introduces action steps for becoming true and committed disciples of Jesus Christ.

Biblically based, sound in doctrine, these guidelines are the result of experiential truth. David builds a solid foundation to help the reader understand true discipleship. He emphasizes the importance of processing and assimilating the material in order to help others grow, and mature as followers in Christ. These principles are easily adapted for use in mentoring situations, in small group training, or in new believer's classes. The book is well researched. Detailed notes on the sources used in each chapter are available at the end of the book for additional study and reference.

David uses illustrations and heartwarming short stories from contemporary life to bring home spiritual truths. The study questions at the end of each chapter though provoking, stimulating, and inspiring. I especially enjoyed the quotes, and nuggets of wisdom that were insightful, powerful, and inspiring.

David Arnold is a gifted communicator, articulate, and expressive. He writes with conviction, clarity, and vision. "Discipleship Manual" is a timely and important book for the layman, the clergy, for Christian leadership, and for new believers who desire to obey the call to become followers of Christ, true disciples."

"Pastors wanting to see people get closer to Christ would do well to use this book. Written by an experiences pastor, it covers the subject of discipleship with a plain, straightforward language. The value and dynamics of deliberate and purposeful Christian living are presented in a matter-of-fact way. Readers quickly learn the importance of personal involvement in God's work, along with the need for teamwork and humility.

Absent are the fluffy illusions about serving God. Instead, down-to-earth Bible-based concepts keep the reader focused on the important things. I sensed no homage to popular culture in this work noting trendy or shallow - just good, honest Jesus teaching that won't let people down.

Arnold uses catchy chapter titles, few of which are clichés. He also employs plenty of quotes and anecdotes, some fresh, some timeless, to help readers get his points. The chapters are short and the book reads quickly. It shouldn't intimidate those who don't like to read.

Addressing subjects like unity, obedience, service, commitment, and submission, Arnold unflinchingly calls for the kind of sacrificial living that characterizes a true disciple, while keeping a hopeful and positive tone. The book implies that growth in Christ is uncomplicated when one has the desire. Each chapter ends with study questions which should lead to deeper discussion if used in a class setting.

Like a favorite tool, the word "handy" might best describe this trim volume."
