Wesleyan Stuff

Watson offers a concrete and practical approach to Christian discipleship that is distinctly Wesleyan. His approach builds on the foundation of the General Rules-do no harm, do good, and practice spiritual disciplines-combined with the exercise of small-group accountability. Watson shows that John Wesley’s method of discipleship is both simple and profound, and can help you develop a faith that affects every part of your lives.

“Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development,” says LeRoy Eims.

But all too often the opportunity isn’t there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians.

In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making. He explains:

• How the early church discipled new Christians
• How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian
• How to spot and train potential workers
• How to develop mature, godly leaders

“True growth takes time and tears and love and patience,” Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

This book is a study of John Wesley’s small-group ministry and applies his insights to today’s church.

The Evangelical Revival that swept England in the mid-1700s rode on the tidal wave of small-group discipleship. John Wesley and his Methodist preachers had weekly meetings where parishioners’ spiritual growth could be monitored and encouraged. Dr. Henderson presents the brilliance of this idea and how such groups would benefit ministry today.

Wesley’s emphasis on personal and social holiness is one of the hallmarks of historic Methodism. Widely read among the spiritual writers, he encouraged his followers toward a Christ-centered, experiential sanctification encompassing all of life.
