"Discipling" and "Community" are two well-worn words in church circles - and for good reasons When we are effective in discipling and when we live in authentic community, we are ideally positioned to experience glorious life-transformation and to have a significant impact on our neighbourhoods. Small groups present an ideal environment for both discipling and community - for "discipling in community". This book is written to help small groups become more effective "discipling communities".

Jesus lived and taught a way of life that was so inspiring, so vibrant and so compelling, that people from all walks of life completely abandoned their ways of living and embraced his. As these people lived out their magnificently transformed lives in community, a new faith-based culture emerged which spread across the known world like a wild fire. Sadly, many modern-day Christians do not live inspiring, vibrant and compelling lives. They are trying to live "good lives", but they are not enjoying this most magnificent way. This book takes a fresh look at Jesus, his words and his ways, helping us to rediscover and experience the magnificent life that he came to bring us.

The aim of this book is to present a helpful picture of God by observing Jesus through the eyes of his disciples. The disciples' walk with Jesus developed within them such a spectacular view of God that they established an exploding church that has changed the world - in spite of massive opposition. As we "walk with the disciples" and observe Jesus, we will get to know God better. This will transform our faith and our lives Enjoy your walk
