Despite a flood of church programs, is there a drought of disciples? Help your congregation become a true disciple-making body. Renowned researcher Barna examines what today's leaders are doing to more effectively fulfill Christ's Great Commission. Learn which strategies and resources are working---and which aren't---and discover practical models for growing enthusiastic, mature believers. 186 pages, hardcover from Waterbrook.

Christ’s command to the church is clear: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations...” It is in building disciples--helping others to embrace Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, mature in him, and then lead others to do the same--that the Kingdom grows. And when the Kingdom grows, churches do, too.

In Growing True Disciples, respected author and researcher George Barna helps pastors and leaders assess how their churches are doing in fulfilling their role as disciplemakers. And he reveals models and examples that will equip churches to dramatically increase their effectiveness. As a result, your church can begin to see more involved members who want to live out their faith in submission to God, and joyfully share their resources to fulfill Christ’s commission.

“My study of discipleship in America has been eye-opening. Almost every church in our country has some type of discipleship program or set of activities. Stunningly few churches have a church of disciples.” –George Barna
