Review: Real-Life Discipleship

Review: Real-Life Discipleship

Real-Life Discipleship by Jim Putnam is a thought-provoking book that highlights the crucial need for an intentional process in creating disciples. Putnam effectively argues that attending church and participating in religious rituals alone are not sufficient for true discipleship. He emphasizes the importance of engaging the head, heart, and hands to reflect the teachings of Jesus. By outlining clear stages of discipleship that align with human development, Putnam provides a practical framework that can be implemented in any ministry environment. While he could have provided more guidance on adapting the strategy to individual churches, the book’s solid theological foundation and actionable insights make it an essential read for ministry leaders seeking to transform their congregations into vibrant communities of discipleship.

What is the role of these institutions in discipleship, and how can the church partner with these institutions to further develop disciples?

Do you really know who Jesus is? Jesus tells us who he is through the miracles he did. People respond differently to the miracles that Jesus performed, and we can find these same responses in ourselves. Are you carried along in your faith like the paralytic through the roof, using Jesus like the nine lepers, or do you really and truly see Jesus as your Lord? It’s time to meet Jesus, because once you truly meet Jesus, He will change your life.
