Are you wondering how you can live out your call as a disciple of Christ?   Grab a few friends and read this book together.  This book is a short 3 to 4 week study in which you will learn how Jesus evangelized his followers.  Learning from the Master's example is the best way to move forward in encouraging others to follow the Lord and to grow in your own understanding of how ordinary people like us can be the hands and feet of Jesus today.  
Contact Leslie Slater at 483-2317 Ext. 226 to get books.  We have them on hand.
