I really enjoyed this book! Invited is skillfully written in easy to understand language that leads the reader on a simple journey to knowing the Creator of the Universe through the person of Jesus. The author goes through Jesus life and makes it applicable to us today, all while weaving in the historical accounts. The invitation the author sets forth to the reader is simple, yet profound, with eternal implications. It is easy to give away to those who don't yet know Jesus, as well as to those who are just beginning their lifelong journey with Him. It is also a great reminder to Christians of what we actually believe about following Jesus. "Invited" is easy to understand as well as very enjoyable to read!

I would encourage all Christians to read Count To One. Jesus's prayer in John 17 was for the church to be one as He and the Father are one. Jesus longed for His Body to be united in the proclamation of the "Good News" to a world that is bruised and in chaos. The "Church" needs to hear and receive this message. The "Church" not only needs to hear the message, it needs to act on it. God's heartbeat is unity in His Body. Bishop Robert shares, in a very profound way, God's heart for His "Church!"  The Apostle Paul said, "There is one body and one spirit... one Lord, one baptism; one God and Father of all!!! Jesus is coming back for one bride. His bride!

Pick up the book! Read it and meditate on what Bishop Robert is saying about unity and the message of John 17. But don't only read it and then put it on the shelf. Act on what Bishop Robert has said in his book. Set aside all your pre-conceived notions about other believers (denominations) and listen to God's heart. Be a catalyst for unity in your community, city, state, and nation. God is on the move in this world and he needs all who believe that Jesus is the Christ and that you are saved by grace alone unto good works to come together to advance His Kingdom. This is a book that will change your life. Your friend. Bill Pezzutti

Same thing I have been declaring for years. Every person who claims to love Jesus needs to read this and reevaluate their relationship.  Including pastors, and others who consider themselves leaders.  There is One leader...only Jesus Christ.  It's time to get back to preaching the Blood of Christ, the entire word of God from Genesis through Revelation, recognize sin and relent.

A must read for anyone who desires to be a disciple maker. This book is not just theory, but born of the experience of a man who has been faithful to make disciples who are making disciples.

This is one of the best books that I've read on home discipleship, which is far different from what is commonly thought of as home schooling.  If you don't know the difference, this book will enlighten and surprise you!  If you are convicted of your responsibility to bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of our Lord Jesus Christ, then this book is for you.  God bless you on your journey for His glory!

The author does a great job explaining why, as Christians, we need to look to Jesus as we seek to grow like Him. If we profess to be Christians, then we believe that Jesus was raised from the dead. Why, then, do so many Christ followers seek to follow other people rather than Jesus himself? Using Biblical verses and numerous other books (the 150-page book minus appendices has an extensive bibliography), the author shows that many things we do are good but we can actually be (and should expect to be) discipled by Jesus himself. The first part of the book explains the basis for the author's position, while the latter part of the book tells us what this can look like. It's not prescriptive, because the author recognizes each of us has a personal relationship with Jesus and therefore "being discipled by Jesus" looks different for different people. He shares his own experience and provides a framework for how we can be discipled be Jesus (embrace Jesus as your Pastor, choose Jesus as your teacher, learn to pray in the Spirit, and be ready to go on mission for Jesus as His ambassador). While praying in the Spirit looks different for different people, the author mentions 3 basic steps in the process: rest, surrender, and wait. In today's busy world, this is so simple and yet so difficult and it's a critical reminder. The author points out that Jesus' original disciples had baseline knowledge and attributes that enabled Jesus to radically change their lives in 3 years; if we want to be discipled by Jesus in a life-changing way, we must also have these prerequisites (Biblical knowledge, a commitment to the church, and consistent financial commitment to God's work). Finally, the author reminds us that Jesus makes disciples so those people can go into the world and do good work. This book is a call to action, so there is a point to the process.

Interspersed with the teaching are stories that make this a book that is enjoyable to read, which will challenge Christ followers to make changes in our lives to make room and be ready to be discipled by Jesus himself. Importantly, the author also reminds us that the goal of discipleship is to go our into the world and do the good works that God prepared for us in advance. I hope many Christ followers will read this book and be encouraged to go on mission for God in our broken world today.

This isn't a long book, but it's full of great wisdom. There are two appendices that are great resources, as well, in addition to the bibliography. I expect I'll return to this book numerous times (the book and the appendices) in the coming years.

I received this book at no cost in exchange for an honest review.

When it comes to sharing your faith with other people, do you find it easy? What about when it comes to the idea of making a disciple? I know it can be scary for me! But I also believe we are called to do it, and the book, The Gentle Art of Discipling Women, is a great guide to get started.

Does Jesus call to go and make disciples seem a little intimidating?

Excerpt from book: "Youre not alone! Let seasoned discipler Dana Yeakley mentor you on this incredible journey of discipleship. Dana knows that discipling women can be overwhelmingbut shes seen how our amazing God works and knows that He has uniquely designed you to disciple other women.

In this practical and encouraging guide, you will learn how to:

Reflect on four scriptural realities that will ground you as Gods disciple so you can pass His truth on to others
Create an inviting and safe space conducive to building authentic relationships
Pack three essentialsthe Word, prayer, and catching up on lifeinto each of your meetings
Determine whom to disciple and how to find her
Intentionally engage with someone who wants to be discipled
Discern what to share as you open up to each other
Each chapter ends with a Bible study that challenges you as a disciple and also as a discipler. Packed with essential truths and encouragement, The Gentle Art of Discipling Women will prove to be a trusted resource that you will refer to for years to come".

I know how it feels to feel led, to want to do something, but have no idea how to get started. And that can be frustrating, especially for us determined women! So when we are told to be disciple makers, not just lead converts to the Lord, do you know where to start?

I like that the author, Dana Yeakley, offers a lot of suggestions on the whole process, from being confident in yourself to creating a meeting space and how to find another women to be discipled. Now, I think this is an intimate and emotional process, especially between women. You definitely open up about your church life, your past, and of course, you share the love of Jesus with this other person. Its not to be taken lightly; but instead, you can learn how to be gentle in your approach and complete the process and hopefully have one more woman stepping forward to do the same as you did, thus creating a beautiful domino effect of making disciples.

Tyndale House Publishers provided me a complimentary copy of this book.

This is a great read!  As a "new" Christian, I am feeling the Lord tugging at my heart to disciple to others.  This book has helped me understand why this is so important and why God is calling me to do it.  I listen to most books via the Audible app because I have trouble staying focused on written texts.  I was able to read this text with ease and thoroughly enjoyed the actual reading of it.  I highly recommend this book!

The Bible reads:

Mat 28:19

{JESUS SAYS} Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them [i.e., THE NATIONS] in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible has spoken.  The matter is closed.  Jesus himself tells us what to do.  Obey Him.

A  great book. Not a formula to discipleship or programs but realizing that life itself brings opportunity to teach, nurture, mentor daily like Jesus did with the disciples.

The 21st century church lacks the focus to disciple as we seem to have relegated spiritual growth to Sunday morning service of good music, preaching, and Christian entertainment. I don't claim to be an innocent bystander. Ralph Moore hits the nail on the head reminding us that Jesus command was not to go and make converts or church members but disciples. He makes it clear that this can be and is a messy process as is real life and that's okay.

Come With Me is an excellent challenge to become the 13th disciple. Suzie's beautiful openness and sweet conversational way of writing is certainly evident is the book. Come With Me is not only a great book, but also a great challenge in following wherever you are called. I'm only a few chapters in and am certain my highlighter is about to run out! If you are debating whether or not this book is for you, I would certainly encourage you to join the #ComeWithMe movement!!
