Discipleship is not primarily a matter of what we do. It is an outgrowth of what we are. If this is true, it is reasonable for others to expect to see proof of the reality of our commitment to Christ reflected in the way that we live.

True Discipleship will give you a better understanding of the marks and calling of a disciple of Jesus Christ. It will help you to develop a living relationship with the Christ you love, serve, and seek to imitate.

Tired of the kind of workbooks where the answers to the questions are so obvious, you wonder why you bothered?

When I wrote True Discipleship, I wanted an accompanying workbook that I would have liked to use when I was doing discipleship as a pastor. The questions will help you explore the passages in depth and force you to dig deeper into the concepts of each chapter in the book.

Most of all, they will encourage you to expect God to do great things in a small place. Originally published by Baker, this book is now available at RHMA.org.

The New Testament describes the Church as the pillar and foundation of the truth.

What is the nature of that truth which the Church has been called to proclaim, uphold and defend? Foundational Faith examines the core beliefs of the Christian faith, often referred to as the Fundamentals.

Each of the contributors focuses on one of the fundamentals of the faith. Topics include: the authority of Scripture, the virgin birth, the deity of Christ, the substitutionary atonement and the bodily resurrection and physical return of Christ.
