Lifestyle Discipleship: The Challenge of Following Jesus in Today's World

Summary: Practical book about building disciples
Review: Lifestyle Discipleship is the third book about evagelism by Jim Petersen. In it, the author explains a sensible approach for people to use when trying to help others develop into mature Christians. I liked the book for two main reasons. First, it is biblically based (the author includes numerous scriptures to support his concepts), and second it is easy to comprehend. Any Christian who reads this book will not feel overwhelmed by the challenge of helping others to grow in Christ.

Instead of laying out a complex disciple building program full of tips and techniques, Petersen focuses on how we should live. He believes that it is our calling to model the Christian lifestyle so that others are inspired by our example. We should become "insiders" who impact the world in which we operate.

I agree with his "insider" concept, and hope that this book helps me to influence those around me. I recommend this book for any Christian who is looking for ways to make a greater impact for the Kingdom of God. If you have not read the first two books in this series, I recommend that you read those first, before this one.

Summary: Very well written. For the layman as well as pastors.
Review: we are using this book in a women's Bible study and find it an excellant tool for teaching what lifestyle discipleship should look like. The book is an easy read, clear in it's points,and consistent in definition. I plan to use it again.
