1–2–1 Discipleship
Helping One Another Grow Spiritually
Christine Dillon
“Lack of depth and maturity in the worldwide church is a major problem. Very few Christians really know their Bibles well and can apply the Word to their daily lives. Few really live as “salt and light” in a dark world. Most make little impact for the Kingdom or know how to share their faith simply and in such a way that people want to listen. Sadly many are not even aware their Christian lives could be any different and so they live frustrated.
Could it be that we have failed to follow what Jesus commanded? His very last command before he returned to heaven was very simple “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit and teaching them all I’ve commanded you. And surely I am with you even to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:18–20).
A person’s last words before they die or leave should be important and Jesus certainly wasn’t going to waste the opportunity when his disciples were listening so intently… Make disciples – Jesus knew that if his disciples did that, then all else that might be necessary would follow on. If we get the discipling part right then the church will grow and the church can become wide AND deep, giving life and refreshment instead of only disappointment and frustration.
This book aims to explain what discipleship is and give practical guidelines for discipling others. I feel compelled to write it because few seem to have been discipled themselves and good books on the topic seem surprisingly scarce. I was one of those who had to learn everything by trial and error. This book is the kind that I was looking for but didn’t find. I hope this might ensure your way is a little easier.’ Christine Dillon

This book was sent as a gift to me by Christian Focus when I wrote to them asking for another book. What a pleasant surprise! Helping Christians along the path to discipleship is something everyone says is an urgent need worldwide but which few really practice. It is not an impossibly hard task, and could be one of the most enriching experiences for a Christian. This book explains the process in an easy to digest and practical way. Highly recommended!

... biblical, easy to read, extremely practical, and has useful questions for reflection. It's enough to get your teeth into if you've been involved in discipling already, but not overwhelming if you're thinking of taking up the challenge and need some help.
