"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

The Talmud is a confusing piece of writing. It begins no where and ends no where but it does not move in a circle. It is written in several languages and follows rules that in certain circumstances trigger the use of one language over others. Its components are diverse. To translating it requires elaborate complementary language. It cannot be translated verbatim into any language. So a translation is a commentary in the most decisive way. The Talmud, accordingly, cannot be merely read but only studied. It contains diverse programs of writing, some descriptive and some analytical. A large segment of the writing follows a clear pattern, but the document encompasses vast components of miscellaneous collections of bits and pieces, odds and ends. It is a mishmash and a mess. Yet it defines the program of study of the community of Judaism and governs the articulation of the norms and laws of Judaism, its theology and its hermeneutics, Above all else, the Talmud of Babylonia is comprised of contention and produces conflict and disagreement, with little effort at a resolution No wonder the Talmud confuses its audience. But that does not explain the power of the Talmud to define Judaism and shape its intellect. This book guides those puzzled by the Talmud and shows the system and order that animate the text.
First Steps: Evanghelism Handbook by Otniel Luca Pdf
My dear friend, This handbook is the result of over thirty years of evangelism and it uses this form of teachings to help preach the Gospel. I experienced all these teachings, I served thousands of people with different levels of education and with all kinds of religious backgrounds, including atheists. All these given, the teaching team and I decided to conceive this handbook, which will hopefully have a tremendous impact on your life! All this time, we made continuous improvements and made adjustments to the teachings, for each generation or cultural group, as Apostle Paul said: “to the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jew and to the Greeks I became like a Greek to win the Greek for Christ’, therefore, my dear friend, whether or not you are an evangelist, I provide you with this handbook as a tool in the hand of the worker. My recommendation for you is to preserve the order of the teachings in the handbook, in order to reach the ultimate result of salvation. Only following this sequence, recommended by Paul as well, we can lead people to Jesus Christ, step by step. These teachings are called “the basic teachings of Jesus Christ”, so don’t use them as a religious book or as a course of catechesis. This manual is a collection of teachings used to evangelize the unsaved people, but also the saved ones who haven’t followed these basic teachings until now. This manual can be used as a very efficient tool by all Christians whose desire is to evangelize unsaved people. This evangelism handbook doesn’t replace the guiding evangelist. This handbook is part of the PHILIP Project and it is a tool in an evangelist’s hand, according to the principle of evangelist Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch: “And he said, `How can I unless someone guides me?’” (Acts 8:31). Our next project is to prepare and offer you written support for each lesson in this handbook, where you will find all the information you need. For the lesson about the Foundation we recommend you to read the book The Divine Actions. For the lesson about Grace we recommend you to read the book Law and Grace. The coming books meant to support you will appear soon. The benefits of these courses If you study this handbook honestly and seriously, you will reach the following benefits: - You will understand God enough to want Him as your faith foundation; - You will understand what it means to discover Jesus Christ through revelation; - You will understand the meaning of life, the most precious thing for you; - You will understand and you will be able to apply the mind-changing process correctly; - You will be able to unravel the mysteries of faith and benefit from it; - You will be able to fructify the big chance every human has - to be born again; - You will understand what the ‘mystery’ of baptism is about, which concerns all Christian religions. We thank you for choosing to take your time to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and for choosing and understanding that God’s will is for you to be an authentic disciple and evangelize the others. Friend and brother in Christ, Otniel Luca
Forming Intentional Disciples by Sherry A. Weddell Pdf
How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.
In the ancient disciple-rabbi relationship, the disciple would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be covered in the dust kicked up from his rabbi's feet. Thousands of years later, though we walk on roads of pavement and not dust, we are still called to be disciples—to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely that we are covered with his life, changed, and made new. Into His Likeness provides an approachable but in-depth exploration of how to live as a disciple and experience the transformation Jesus wants to work in our lives. We might desire to live more like Christ, but we know we fall short. This book simply helps us follow those initial promptings of the Holy Spirit, so that we may more intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to his grace changing us ever more into his likeness.
Are you ready to take your faith to the next level? If you yearn for a life that moves beyond believing and practicing your faith, if you want to radically live your faith, if you want a more profound relationship with Jesus Christ, then it is time for you to become an activated disciple. The Foundation of discipleship is imitation. True discipleship requires such a close relationship with God that every area of your life is transformed. It is about opening yourself to God and inviting him to dwell within you, becoming holy as he is holy, loving as he is loving, disciples of Christ become the instruments God employs to transform the world. - Move beyond simply believing and practicing your faith and begin radically living it! - Overcome obstacles that keep you from being the disciple you are made to be. - Be a positive influence and an instrument of transformation in the Church.
