Bill Mowry - Walk with Me: Simple Principles for Everyday Disciplemaking

Bill Mowry writes with winsome clarity about a subject that is near to the heart of God and invites us into the ways of Jesus Christ. No other topic reflects more fully the life and purposes of Jesus than His focus on helping everyday people walk with God and reflect His character. Bill makes it doable for all of us, people in busy lives and in a culture that tries to pull us away from meaning and relationship.

JAMIE STRICKLAND

Pastor of Discipleship Ministries, West Highland Church, Hamilton, ON, Canada

Years ago, Bill invited me to walk with him while he walked with Jesus. I wasnt sure what I was getting into then, but now I can see how far Bill has brought meand how far Ive been able to bring my church with his help and coaching. My life has changed; now God is working in my church to change the lives of others, and all because Bill asked me to walk with him years ago. This book will teach you the same, simple principles of disciplemaking that Bill taught and showed me.

ERIC WATERS

St. John Lutheran Church, Boerne, TX

Several months ago, I set a personal goal to walk ten thousand steps a day. With an aging body, I needed the exercise to stay in shape physically. Its now a regular habit that I miss if I cant fit it in. What if Christians today started inviting people to walk with them as they walk with Jesus as a nonnegotiable part of their daily routine? Walk with Me explains how to do that in accessible, easy-to-understand language. Imagine how much our troubled world would change if we Christ followers were committed to the metaphorical equivalent of 10,000 steps a day habit for this kind of discipleship walk?

MARY SCHALLER

HOWARD VAN CLEAVE

In our hectic culture and church world, we have made the Great Commission complex, expensive, and inaccessible to the everyday person. Walk with Me counters this state of affairs with the simple biblical metaphor of walking. Walk with Me is a practical book that will help pastors, church leaders, and everyday disciples begin taking their first steps to help others follow Jesus as His disciples.
