Discipleship Pathway - New Book

This is the cover of the most recent book written by Nelson Roth. The book introduces two tried and proven tools to be a disciple and to be a disciple maker. The coaching approach to discipleship made a difference in my life and in my relating to God. 

Finding the NEXT STEP in growing in a  relationship to God is a challenge for many
people. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day. However, using a coach and working with a tool called The Relevant Discipleship Manual, I found time. Time to read. Time to reflect. Time to have the privilege of working with Nelson as my Discipleship Coach.

I found Nelson and his wife Pam when looking for CEUs to maintain my ICF coaching credentials. As part of the training, students in the online class were given the option of using the Relevant Discipleship Manual, authored by Nelson and Pam, as a tool for a one-to-one coaching process. The manual covers seven spiritual disciplines. There are four 2-page articles related to each discipline. There are also an additional two pages of coaching tools for each discipline that will take each of the seven disciplines deeper through the use of powerful questions. 

The manual also has 12 additional lessons that can be used in small groups or Sunday School classes. 

Here is my review of my experience of one-to-one coaching. Nelson and I talked for approximately an hour every two to three weeks. The disciplines were picked by what I wanted to focus on. Each time it seemed like there was a relevant reason I was given the opportunity to focus on that particular discipline. The first one I chose was evangelism - because I am not that good at sharing my faith with others outside of the church. I needed guidance to make the extra effort to remember and share stories of God's activity in my daily life.

I hope you will pick up a copy of this book, and the Relevant Discipleship Manual. I am currently discipling two people through the manual, and have already asked another individual to let me know when they are ready to begin!
