Discipleship, Religion & Spirituality 

The Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 is a command for all God's people to make disciples--to teach others how to turn all things in life to be centered in Christ by allowing the gospel to shape how we think, feel, and act. That is why at the heart of the Great Commission is the reality of the Greatest Commandment--to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). And it is the gospel of Jesus Christ that harmoniously ties these truths together. Most believers today understand they have a responsibility to make disciples, but many do not know how to get started or where to go. Discipleship was meant to be life-on-life, not a rigid curriculum. It requires personal relationships and structure. Relationships allow the flexibility to go where the conversation will naturally go, while structure takes the conversation where it is sometimes uncomfortable to go. Striking a balance between these two important elements will keep the discipleship personal, relational, and intentional. This resource seeks to help that process. Written in the form of thirty-one discipleship letters, The Christ-Centered Life explains how the gospel shapes foundational Christian practices, values, and beliefs to be centered in Christ. By explaining biblical topics in a concise format with clear teaching and simple definitions, each letter is meant to show how Christ is the center of everything in the life of the believer and everything flows from a relationship with Him. Each letter concludes with self-reflection questions that create a forum for one-on-one or small group dialogue. This book seeks to start Christ-centered conversations, ground those conversations in Scripture, and catapult those conversations from general biblical principles into personal, practical, and life-changing application. - from Amzon
