Seven Principles of Ministry for the Average, Radical Christian

Description: ""Go and make disciples . . ."" It's one of the most familiar phrases in the Bible, but one of the most puzzling and challenging to see fulfilled. How does one ""make"" a disciple? What's the cost? What's the reward? Why do so many Christians struggle with this Great Commission directive from the Lord? This book presents seven clear, biblical principles of ministry for serious Christians who want to have significant personal ministries. It gives encouragement, motivation, and practical instruction for success in making disciples for Jesus Christ. These are principles such as ""Be what you want others to be,"" ""Give your life to people, not just your knowledge,"" and ""Don't use people to build your ministry; use your ministry to build people."" This book will deepen your appreciation for the power of lay ministry and help you be a disciple-maker for Christ, right where you are.

This is the way Jesus did it."" -Ron Shimkus Campus Director and Staff Trainer, Retired The Navigators ""There are many theoretical treatises on discipleship that approach the topic from a distance. Here is a guide for making disciples that is not only absolutely biblical, but that is eminently practical and life-changing when first lived out by an average, radical Christian, and then shared with another person who wants to know God and live for him."" -W. Thomas Warren Author of Sin Less: The Christian's War Within ""James Cunneen gives us all practical and scriptural guidance in personal disciple-making from his lifetime of experience. This book is a field manual for those who want to see Christ change lives, not just adjust theologies. It is significant help to any Christian in ministry, including pastors!"" -Joel C. Hunter Senior Pastor Northland-A Church Distributed ""This book will show you what Jesus meant when he said, "" Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men."" It will give you a toolbox for discipleship that will not grow old or wear out. With Jim's help I have used these tools for more than twenty-five years and have seen the fruit."" -Fred Franz Governing Elder Northland-A Church Distributed ""If you want to impact lives for eternity, then this is the man to learn from. Read and apply and your life will take on new purpose and meaning to the glory of God!"" ¬-Pete Alwinson Senior Pastor Willow Creek Church, Winter Springs, Florida About the Contributor(s): James Cunneen is involved in evangelism and disciple-making in the Central Florida area with Life To Life Ministries.
