discipleship ....

[kp_online]

im just wondering if any of you can recommend a book of discipleship to a small group of consisting of college and career. we would be looking for something leaned more towards discussion based rather than a fill-in-the-blank type format.

thanks in advance.

Well my college group of Bible Study has been using this quite old book called "Disciples are Made, Not Born". Its by Walter A. Henrichsen. Quite practical. Starts off with what it means to be a disciple, how to be a good one and then how to train others to become disciples. I wasnt around for the full course though. You might want to check it out. But its heaps old, so.... heh.

The most hardcore book I can think of is Blackaby's "Experiencing God." That book tells it like it is. It might be a little too heavy though.
It demands your time every day. You have to fill in some stuff. But when you meet weekly you can probably discuss for as long as you want. Actually, the amount of time allotted for being in a group is soemthing I would ignore cause you can talk about what youw ent over for forever. The time constraints are probably there in order to guarantee you will cover everything you are supposed to.
The book is very rewarding, but it's a lot of work. Ultimately, discipleship is a lot of work.

I would recommend "The Sacred Romance" Or "Journey of Desire" by John Eldridge. Both are absolutly amazing books. They talk about the romance with God, and explain the extent of his love, and ways to move closer to him!

is there a certain topic or theme you want? do you want to do a character study? study a particular book of the bible? or are you kinda not sure what you want to do? is the group all one gender or mixed? there are several things to consider that may help lead you to a good bible study.
