The Language of Disciple-Making: Saying What We Mean About Discipleship

Watch your language! We have all struggled with our words and the meaning of our words in every area of life, even in disciple-making. In The Language of Disciple-Making, authors and disciple-makers, Dan Leitz and Jim Thomas, explore this important, yet overlooked, aspect of disciple-making. Investigating seven key words related to the practice and process of making disciples, they challenge every believer to expose and evaluate the language they use in personal and ministry contexts, and to implement intentional language in their call to make disciples of Jesus. As a result, disciple-makers will strengthen their ability to communicate clearly their intent in making disciples and create more purposeful, sustainable, and reproducible models of disciple-making in their ministry contexts.
