My friend Robby Gallaty has provided us with yet another tremendous resource for this all-important task of disciple-making. If youre interested in returning to a Jesus-like model of discipleship, this book will point you in the right direction. I learned a lot from it. I look forward both to studying it with some of our key leaders, and to implementing several of the ideas in our discipleship strategy.

If you are not careful when reading Rediscovering Discipleship, you may forget you are reading a didactic book on discipleship and believe you are enjoying an interesting romp through history. Dr. Gallaty has found a way to make discipleship pleasurable. At the same time, the subject could not be more important; it is about nothing less than world revolution. When I take time to read on important subjects, I dont want to waste my time, I want to read the best. I want experts who practice what they preach; Robby Gallaty is such a man.

Robbys new book is both fresh and informational. You will enjoy his grasp of the Jewish perspective on discipling. I highly recommend this book both for discussion and personal interaction. It is simple, is practical, and will stretch your understanding of Jesus and discipling. We must wrestle with the issues that Robby raises in this book the next generation of the American church is at stake.

Robby Gallaty has given pastors a prism that displays with brilliant color the bright white command to make disciples. You may never find a book with more clarity and conviction as it blends historic insight with present-day application.

Robby Gallatys book is a manifesto for churches and Christians everywhere. God forbid, we spend our days succeeding at things that dont really matter in eternity. With loads of practical experience at the local church level, precision excellence, and masterful storytelling, Robby shows us the profoundly simple ways we can all make disciples like Christ. As one who loves to read, I really enjoyed Robbys writing.

Rediscovering Discipleship demonstrates why my friend, Robby Gallaty, is quickly becoming the most insightful, credible voice of this generation when it comes to disciple-making in the local church. This book confronts many of the shallow, popular notions of discipleship and provides a refreshing alternative that is thoroughly biblical and deeply practical. Every pastor and church leader desiring to create a church culture that will make mature, lasting disciples for Jesus must read this book.

If you want a book filled with idealistic clichs or harsh critiques without practical solutions, this is NOT the book for you. But if you want to learn how to actually produce disciples in a modern-day church setting, I encourage you to let Robert Gallaty take you on a journey back through the disciplining methods of Jesus, the early church, and the Reformers as he highlights the transferable practices, principles, and methods of discipleship that still change lives today.

I love this book! Robby Gallaty has gifted the body of Christ with a compelling biblical and historical case for making disciples. I personally gleaned many new (or should I say old) insights and stories from this dynamic, articulate, and wise pastor about the history, and hence the future, of disciple-making. Highly recommended!

Tell me how you keep score, former GE CEO Jack Welch said, and I will tell you how to win. Not everything is easily measurable, but too many in the church have overly spiritualized discipleship to the point that measuring is not attempted at best or denigrated at worst. In this helpful book, Robby Gallaty offers the church cogent, clarifying tools for the journey of disciple-making. If you want to build a culture of disciples who make disciples, read this!

In Rediscovering Discipleship, Robby has given us a practical resource to aid believers in carrying out the Great Commission. Dont just read this book. Put it into practice.

DR. ROBERT E. COLEMAN, Author of
The Master Plan of Evangelism

There are little nuggets of gold to be found in this book, particularly when it comes to the practical side of discipleship. This will be a helpful tool for those looking to re-evaluate discipleship in the local church and how they can begin to one another more seriously in the faith.

As Robby Gallaty puts it, The lack of leadership isnt a leadership problem, its a discipleship problem. This book, Rediscovering Discipleship, takes us back to Jesus strategy to change the world and shows us how the greatest transformational movements in church history have always rediscovered the power of discipleship. In the swirling chaos of false substitutes, this book is a clarion call to authentic Christianity.

BYRON PAULUS, President/Executive Director of Life

In Rediscovering Discipleship, Gallaty provides a necessary reminder that discipleship is not optional for Christians. Gallaty captures some of John Wesleys key insights about the importance of small group accountability for growth in holiness. This book contains practical insights and concrete steps for how to make disciples of Jesus Christ in local church contexts.

and Methodist Studies at Candler School of Theology,

Reading Rediscovering Discipleship is like taking an antibiotic that fights off illnesses from overtaking the human body. This book is a healing agent that will help Jesus bodythe churchget healthy.

Robby Gallaty is not only a friend of mine, but an inspiration. As a senior pastor, I recognize how difficult it is to balance a crazy schedule and growing family in a way that still allows your best energy to go towards making disciples, and yet this is exactly what Robby is doing. He is not only writing and teaching on the subject; hes giving us a living, breathing model. Im excited about Rediscovering Discipleship as an extension of Robbys example. I believe it will be useful in helping the church to return to its biblical calling, which is to make disciples who make disciples.
