Inhaltsangabe:

Most disciplemaking strategies employ a "materials-oriented" approach - "If you take the disciple through this set of materials, they will be discipled." Personal Disciplemaking takes a "needs-oriented" approach. That is, let'd first assess where the needs are in this growing Christian, discern what God is doing in his or her life, and partner with HIM in the process. The first eight chapters give practical, general help in what is involved in the discipling process. The next twelve chapters focus on initial follow-up of a new Christian - the first twelve things you should do with a new believer in Christ. The final section helps the reader lay out a plan for a lifetime of discipling, using the Personal Disciplemaking Tool Kit. The approach can be used in a one-to-one mentoring relationship, or as a curriculum for small group discipling.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Chris Adsit came to know Christ as a student at Colorado State University through the ministry of the Navigators. Upon graduation he joined the staff of the Athletes in Action Track Team, part of the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. As a decathlete, he competed for Team USA internationally in 1975, placing 7th at the National Championships. With an increasing burden for training Christians how to disciple others, he and his wife Rahnella founded Disciplemakers International in 1988 - at the time a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. It was during this period that he wrote Personal Disciplemaking and Connecting With God. In 2005, Chris & Rahnella felt led to take what they had learned into a new field of ministry: to combat veterans who were struggling with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. They joined the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ's Military Ministry (now Cru Military). They became subject matter experts on PTSD for the ministry, and discovered that many of the same principles that help a person grow to maturity as a Christian also help a combat veteran with soul wounds to heal. They wrote The Combat Trauma Healing Manual and When War Comes Home during that time. In 2011 they founded their own ministry to the military and first responders called "Branches of Valor" and wrote The First Responder Healing Manual. In 2018, Branches of Valor merged with Reboot Combat Recovery - a ministry to the military that grew out of the Adsit's manuals. Also in 2018, they launched a new ministry to first responders known as "Firstline."
