DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt THE PLACE Church we are committed to obey the words of Jesus found in Matthew 28: "And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20The word "DISCIPLE" literally means "STUDENT". We want to be disciples of Christ and students of His Word. This workbook is a great first step in that discipleship process as you begin to grow in your relationship with Jesus. This workbook is designed with six lessons that will help you build a strong spiritual foundation for the rest of your life. Chapter 1: Who is Jesus?Chapter 2: A Great DecisionChapter 3: Water BaptismChapter 4: The Bible and PrayerChapter 5: Spiritual WarfareChapter 6: Life Group MinistryNow, make a commitment to enter into this season of growth with an open mind and a willing heart. God is about to do some great in you... and through you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development." says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains: - How the early church discipled new Christians - How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian - How to spot and train potential workers - How to develop mature, godly leaders "True growth takes time and tears and love and patience," Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Call Bible Study Book is an intentional 6-session disciple-making study that answers the question "Who am I as a disciple of Christ?" More than a Bible study on identity, The Call is a disciple-making resource that emphasizes practice and mentoring for group settings of multiple sizes to take disciples on a journey into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Like all the releases in the Disciples Path series, The Call uses teaching, questions, conversation, exercises, and individual study to facilitate transformational discipleship. It begins by exploring the question "Who is Jesus?" Then it takes group members through the priorities of a disciple, the cost of a disciple, and the fruit of a disciple. Far too often we neglect to teach the trust cost of discipleship. It could end up costing everything, but true discipleship is worth that and even more. The sessions include: 1. Who Is Jesus? 2. What Did Jesus Do? 3. Following Jesus 4. The Priorities of a Disciple 5. The Cost of a Disciple 6. The Fruit of a Disciple The study includes an introduction to the weekly session topic, guided prayer options, and Scripture focus with text and narrative explanation that drives the weekly meeting. Also included each week are discussion questions and group exercises that reinforce the primary teaching points of each topic. Individual study and out-of-group activities have all been crafted to help users take their next step as disciples of Christ. These optional activities include but are not limited to reading plans, prayer exercises, personal study, and journaling. Features: Bible study format, content, and activities created and written by practicing disciple-makers Individual exercises to provide opportunities to practice discipleship A personal Bible study plan Benefits: Examine six facets of what it means to follow Christ. Facilitate transformation through modeling and practice. Use as a "handbook" for one-on-one or two-on-one discipleship situations. Lead effectively--requires minimal leader preparation and allows the facilitator to model what it means to be a disciple. Initiate an intentional discipleship path with individuals or groups.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJesus teaches us to pray, “Give us this day, our daily bread.” But what does that really mean? Obviously, Jesus was not telling his disciples to simply pray for a morsel of literal bread every day, right? Isn’t that obvious? Bread in the Bible was a powerful symbol of God’s provision—the act of supplying with food, drink, or equipment for a journey. So when you pray, “Give us this day, our daily bread,” you are actually saying, “God I need you to supply me with everything I need to make it through this journey of life, and I need you to do it EVERY DAY.” Well, here it is: all contained in this workbook, coupled with the corresponding video presentation. Simply spend 20-30 minutes with God every day, and He will serve you His daily provision, and every area of your life will grow to a remarkable and exponential proportion. You will become very close to your Heavenly Father. You will feel Him and hear Him speak to you every day. What a wonderful unexplainable feeling. Here is the daily “Time with God” formula: P.R.S.P. P - Pray 3-5 minutes, R – Read 5-10 minutes, S – Study 10-15 minutes, P – Pray 3-5 minutes. You’ve prayed for years, “Give us this day our DAILY BREAD,” well now, here it is
