Summary

Most of us would answer 'No' when asked if we were like Jesus. So how do we become more like Jesus?

John Koessler believes the answer is by understanding and developing the marks of a true disciple in our lives. In True Discipleship and the companion guide, he provides a straightforward presentation of the characteristics Jesus laid out for His disciples. As he offers teaching on the practice of discipleship and the responsibility of being a disciple, readers will be stretched in their thinking and encouraged in their journey.

This book is intended for use alongside the True Discipleship Companion Guide. With Scripture studies, reflection questions, and areas for writing down thoughts, the guide will help you internalize what God's Word identifies as marks of a true Christian.

Perfect for individual study, small groups, or the classroom.
