America's moral, economic, and leadership decline is symptomatic of a greater problem; that problem is in the weakened fabric of the Evangelical Church. Liberalism and social justice have supplanted righteousness and holiness. The result is a weak Church reflective of the European model. This book calls Church leadership back to the biblical model for making disciples. The author tackles the difficult aspects of negligent Church leadership, and he exposes those who would intentionally thwart the disciple-making ministry. The author explains the necessity for appropriating the means of grace, and its centrality for initiating, developing, and perpetuating a disciple-making ministry. Expect to greatly enlarge your ministry as you, in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, first become a disciple, and then as you produce disciples and disciple makers. "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches," Rev. 2:29. "This is a call to returning to the basics. Buzz traces the decline of churches really equipping people to disciple, and points the way back." Frank M. Barker, Jr. Pastor Emeritus Briarwood Presbyterian Church "In this much needed book, Buzz Williams hits the nail on the head in the present day evangelical church's failure to follow Jesus' own method for church growth, i.e., evangelism and discipleship. And he gives us a practical plan whereby both can be implemented in the local church, whether it be small or large." Kennedy Smartt, Pastor Chestnut Mountain, Georgia
