Synopsis:

In Jesus' Great Commission, His last words on earth, He commanded His followers to "go and make disciples...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Somehow, through the centuries Christianity and the Church have largely lost sight of that mandate. In "Imitate Me," co-authors Jay Baker and Dave Rathkamp draw from a wealth of personal experience - as well as the Biblical example of the apostle Paul and his disciple, Timothy - to show in practical ways what modern-day discipling and disciple-making is all about. This amazing relationship between Paul and Timothy serves as one of the very best examples in the New Testament of one person discipling another. The focus of this book is to explore how Paul worked with Timothy, and how like-minded "Pauls" in the 21st century can become engaged in bringing men to full spiritual maturity. The book’s goal is to help a "Paul," or anyone interested in the one-on-one discipling process, to understand more fully all aspects of man-to-man ministry, the growth of one individual, what the process of spiritual transformation looks like, and the impact it can have in his home, where he works, his community, and his church.

About the Author: Jay Baker has been in the real estate business in Houston, Texas for 36 years and has owned and managed investment properties, a real estate brokerage firm, a bank, and a savings and loan company. He has devoted much of his personal time to helping other men to grow in their Christian faith, learning how to implement it in their personal and professional lives. Dave Rathkamp is a former teaching tennis professional. Since 1981 he has served as a full-time staff member with CBMC, a ministry to business and professional men, and also has devoted his life to investing in other men in Houston, helping them to grow personally, professionally and spiritually. Both of these men write from the heart, drawing from a rich storehouse of personal experience and insight.
