Triple Threat Discipleship: Basic Training (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498481601)

Making disciples matters to God and should matter to the church and every Christ follower. This book proposes to deal with the necessity of making disciples and how to disciple a new or young Christ follower. In America, I believe this is a key issue for us to address. I have heard many people in the church say, "I was converted, but never discipled." I will be encouraging, exhorting, and urging you to return in your personal life and in the church to disciple making. I will give you some helps through what I call a Triple Threat Discipleship model using three key verses as the basis for this book: 2 Timothy 2:2; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Timothy 4:7-8. In this book, I will make clear the necessity of following the command in Matthew 28:19 to make disciples. "Go, baptize, and teach" all support the command of making disciples. In the churches I have been in over the years, they do a fairly good job at winning the lost to the Lord Jesus and baptizing them, but they have not done a good job at teaching them how live out this newfound faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. - Brad Ball If you are looking for an accessible nuts-and-bolts strategy for making disciples, either personally or in the context of your local congregation, then Triple Threat Discipleship is for you. I highly recommend it. - Dr. Ken Easley Professor of Biblical Studies and Director of Graduate Programs, School of Theology and Missions, Germantown Regional Campus, Union University, Pastor, McLean Baptist Church, Memphis Being introduced to true Discipleship by Dr. Ball has had a tremendously positive influence on my walk with Christ. My faith has never gone through a more transforming and inspiring process. Being a part of his D-Group opened my eyes to a completely new lifestyle of remaining in God's word, committing scripture to memory, and living daily in a spirit of prayer. - Jason B. Page, church member, age 41 Aside from salvation, joining a D-group with Dr. Ball has been the greatest thing to happen to my life If you honestly and truly go in seeking God's will then it will change your life in every aspect. - Caleb Wilson, church member, age 26 Brad Ball received his Doctor of Ministry degree in Expository Preaching at Union University in Jackson, TN, and now is currently the Senior Pastor of Bethsaida Baptist Church in Dublin, GA.
