The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781723236808)

The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook is designed to help leaders establish a biblical understanding of discipleship and disciple-making (spiritual mentoring) for life and leadership. This workbook is part of The Leadership Development Series of workbooks designed to facilitate "transformational learning" for establishing a foundation that will stand the test of time and help us to meet the challenges of learning how to be "lovers in a dangerous time" (musician Bruce Cockburn). Jesus stated that, "God is spirit, and his worshippers Disciples and Mentors] must worship in Spirit Spirit-Empowered] and in truth Bible-Centered]" John 4:24, NIV. From this passage I developed The Leadership Development Series that includes this workbook plus The Bible-Centered Leader Workbook; The Spirit-Empowered Leader Workbook; and The Discipleship and Leadership Workbook (that is a "best of" or introductory overview of the content in the other three workbooks in this series for younger emerging leaders). The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook is designed as a stand-alone and/or companion to other workbooks in this series. Each of these workbooks is formatted using the IDEA approach to transformational learning. The goal of the IDEA approach is to facilitate the "gracious work" of God through his word and spirit to transform us "into his likeness with ever increasing glory..." (II Corinthians 3:18, NIV) Each chapter will begin with an Introduction (I) followed by Discovery (D), Explanation (E), and Application (A) sections. Each chapter can be worked through as a unit or in sequence as a whole with a variety of process options including individual, small groups, and various course applications. Take your time and prayerfully and carefully read, study, discuss, apply, and evaluate your progress. Remember that becoming a disciple and mentor is not an objective as much as it is a process or lifestyle. We do not obtain these as much as we become them. Over the years, we will be transformed by God (discipleship) in order help others (spiritual mentoring) in their transformation process.
