IS THE GOSPEL YOU PREACH MAKING DISCIPLES—OR CONVERTS?Many today preach a gospel that makes converts, but not disciples. This is the result of “non-discipleship gospels,” which exclude the necessity to follow Jesus from their message. The Discipleship Gospel challenges the church today with a fresh reading of Jesus’ gospel—one that we must learn to preach again.“The gospel you preach determines the disciples you make,” the authors write. Bill Hull and Ben Sobels use key biblical texts to describe why discipleship is not just an add-on to the gospel, but an essential part of it. The authors define seven essential elements of Jesus’ gospel and why you must include each one in your gospel if you want to make disciples, not just converts. In this book, they help you clarify your understanding of the gospel, learn how to contextualize your message, and create a plan to make disciples who embrace the full gospel—in your church and beyond.“Every Christian needs to read this important book. It identifies the challenges and negative effects of gospels that are devoid of discipleship and reminds us that salvation includes full life in Christ as we grow to be more like him.”—ROBBY GALLATY, Senior Pastor, Long Hollow Baptist Church, president of Replicate Ministries“With biblical and theological precision, The Discipleship Gospel instructs us to replace the gospel of easy believism with Jesus’ gospel of the kingdom. Until we get the gospel right, we can’t expect the state of discipleship to change. This book takes us to the very foundation upon which disciple making is built.”—GREG OGDEN, Chairman of the Board, Global Discipleship Initiative“Ben and Bill show us how Jesus’ gospel calls us to both salvation and discipleship—no exceptions, no excuses. I pray that every pastor and leader who reads it will be changed by it.” —BOBBY HARRINGTON, pastor and cofounder, Discipleship.org

Anchors for the Soul: How to Trust God in the Storms of Life

ANCHOR YOUR FAITH IN THE STORY OF GOD BEFORE-AND DURING-THE STORMS Drawing on his own experiences with losses and tragedies through the death of his young wife and, more recently, the death of his sixteen-year-old son, John Mark hicks tells the story of God through his own experiences of suffering. He does not explain suffering because, as he describes, that cannot be done; rather, he walks with sufferers through the valley of loss. He grounds them deeply in the story of God's love, listening, empathy, sovereignty, and victory. This path is not only for those who seek to persevere in the midst of their suffering but also for those who want to prepare for the suffering that comes to all. In addition to helping sufferers, John Mark provides guidance for those who want to sit with people who are suffering. He offers advice to help comforters provide comfort. There are no easy answers. Our questions, in fact, are never fully answered. Despite this, however, there is a path of assurance, comfort, and trust that yields perseverance, peace and hope. The "anchors" are found in God, who <ul> <li>loves us</li> <li>listens to us</li> <li>empathizes with us</li> <li>gives meaning to our suffering</li> <li>ultimately triumphs over all suffering</li> </ul> These anchors ground us in God's redemptive story. JOHN MARK HICKS has taught at institu-tions affiliated with Churches of Christ since 1982, including Harding School of Theology from 1991 to 2000 and Lipscomb University from 2000 to the present, where he is currently a professor of Theology. He has authored or co-authored more than a dozen books and contributed articles to several books and peri-odicals, both academic and popular. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Jennifer, and together they share five living children and two deceased. They also have six grandchildren.

Revival Starts Here: A Short Conversation on Prayer, Fasting, and Revival for Beginners Like Me

Clayton, Dave

Avoid a major pitfall. Most disciple-making efforts today fail because they focus on me: discipleship gets me closer to God, makes me a better Christian, and helps me gain purpose in life. But Jesus-style discipleship focuses on God and his kingdom. 
How can we relearn this simple yet profound truth when so many people today have embraced the American gospel of me? And how can we teach this to others? Bill Hull and Brandon Cook tell readers to stop asking . . . 
How am I doing? 
Instead, they teach us to ask God-centered questions. This reorientation changes everything. The False Promise of Discipleship implores readers to stop asking the wrong questions and to start making disciples the way Jesus made disciples. 
This short book equips you with practical takeaways so you can thrive as a disciple maker. Written for disciples at all stages of growth, it challenges common assumptions that may be undermining your disciple-making efforts. 
Based on their personal experience as pastors, authors Hull and Cook provide you with a scriptural, gospel-centered approach to becoming a thriving disciple and disciple-making leader. Learn to ask the right questions and avoid some of the most pervasive—yet common—pitfalls among disciple makers today. Take a quantum leap toward Jesus-style disciple-making. Walk away with a new framework and the right questions you need to follow Jesus faithfully amidst the all-pervasive American gospel. 
This book deftly raises the issue that church leaders need to grapple with today—and in all generations. 
— Bobby Harrington, co-founder of Discipleship.org and Renew.org
