Relational Discipleship: Cross Training

How can growing closer to God change the way we relate to others? And how do our relationships with others affect our walk with Him?

In Relational Discipleship: Cross Training, Paul J. Bucknell presents twelve biblical studies built around Jesus’ commands to love God and love others. Scriptural pictures—including father and son, shepherd and lamb, and vine and branches—help readers explore both their relationship with God and their relationships with family, friends, and fellow believers.

For those who grew up in dysfunctional families, healthy relationships may be hard to understand or build. These studies offer biblical guidance for recognizing patterns that need to change and learning to relate to others with love and faithfulness.

With teaching, reflection questions, and practical application, this book works well for personal discipleship, one-to-one mentoring, small groups, and classes. It gives new and growing believers a foundation for following Christ in every relationship.
