Make Disciples, Not Followers is a biblical guide for Christians who speak online—whether you’re a content creator, apologist, catechist, pastor, or simply someone trying to share the Gospel faithfully in the attention economy.

Social media rewards what is fast, sharp, and performative: outrage, “quick takes,” controversy, and the slow drift from witness to brand. But Jesus did not command us to collect likes. He commanded us to make disciples. This book names the temptations of the platform and offers a path toward online evangelism marked by truthfulness, charity, prayer, and spiritual integrity.

Drawing on the RSV throughout, you’ll explore how to evaluate success by spiritual fruit rather than virality; how to build a rule of life for digital mission; how to correct without contempt; how to handle conflict without straw men; and how to resist the cult of personality that platforms reward. You’ll also find practical, pastoral guidance on topics many Christian creators avoid: misinformation and rumor-sharing, boundaries and privacy, “confession-like” DMs, monetization and donor manipulation, burnout and mental health, and the responsibility that comes when your content influences conversions.

This is not a handbook for “winning the internet.” It is a call to holiness in public speech—to be the kind of Christian online who would still be recognizable as a disciple offline.

Inside you’ll find:

A framework for faithful online evangelism, catechesis, apologetics, testimony, and pastoral sensitivity
A biblical vision for truth, fairness, and reverent speech in hostile digital spaces
Guidance for handling authority, correction, and accountability—especially when authority fails
A sober look at money, patronage, sponsorships, and the burden placed on the Church
Chapters on embodied Christianity, human dignity, and why no political movement can fully embody the Gospel
Appendices including a “Should I post this?” discernment worksheet, and a full code of ethics with ready-to-use templates

If you want your online presence to point beyond yourself—toward Christ, the Church, and the demanding joy of discipleship—this book is for you.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
