Product Description
"Make Disciples." Jesus' command is clear. But what is a disciple? And how are we to "make" them? Based on decades of experience, this book explains and illustrates the process of disciple-making that Jesus taught and modeled. First published in 1974, its practical, biblical approach has revolutionized the ministry of hundreds of thousands of Christians as they learned how to multiply themselves in the lives of others. Disciple-making is challenging, to be sure. But as we are faithful to Christ's Great Commission, we'll experience the fulfillment that comes from being faithful to the life mission to which God has called us.

 Quality introduction February 6, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This short but comprehensive overview begins with information on being a disciple of Christ personally, and then moves to cover evangelism and follow-up. Hendrichsen discusses the stages of the disciple making process, including selection, imparting basics, and then multiplying. Important themes in this book include developing conviction in others and appreciating the calling of God.
The book isn't an advanced coverage of the elements involved, but an excellent and inspiring introduction.

The author has written a fresh, classic book in the field of discipling others, as did Jesus. It is biblically thorough, and practical. Among the 25 books I have in this field it rates as one of the top 4. I recommend it in my classes and to those I mentor-disciple. Dr. Waylon B. Moore

This book is an introduction to disciple making, designed to be taught in either an adult Sunday School class or in a small group for laymen. Much of the content of the book is based on Navigator techniques of discipling converts in the basics of the faith, rather than reproducing leaders in the church. This is the book's main weakness.This is not to say that the church is without merit. I especially appreciated the author's emphasis that we recruit people to a vision and his emphasis on faithfulness in refuting disciples. Of course, his stress on multiplication of disciples is good. He states that true discipleship is not is not complete until the new convert is able to reproduced himself by brining another person to Christ and training that person to reproduce himself also. It reminded me to keep the course we have chosen. It reinforced my decision to begin small and work big rather than trying to start a church-wide discipleship study. It also reminded me not to recruit people merely to sustain the organization rather than calling them to fulfill the vision. The author spends too much time restating the obvious. Unlike Hull's "The Disciple Making Pastor" Hendrichsen fails to adequately address the presuppositions and internal structures of the church that inhibit true discipleship.

I recently took a class at a church which used this book as its text. This book is extremely helpful for learning how to disciple others. My experience with the church has been an attitude of "Just Do It!". As Christians we are called to witness, called to disciple, but rarely receive any real training. This book is a great tool for training and helped me feel more comfortable with not only sharing the gospel but guiding others in their walk.
A must have for all disciples!

This book covers it all. I use it as a training tool for both my high school and college ministries. It is a must for all who aspire to fulfill the Great Commission among young people.
