Whether parent, volunteer teacher, or experienced religious educator, a believing leader is in the vanguard of those commissioned with the exciting challenge of nurturing spiritual growth in others. Effectively accomplishing their mission, however, is dependent upon acquisition of the essential equipment and necessary training. Leading, Teaching, and Making Disciples makes a significant contribution to that preparation. It provides critical resources for both the novice and veteran Christian worker by offering a crucial collection of scholarly insights, personal experiences, and practical applications designed specifically for disciple-makers in the church, school, and home. Leading, Teaching, and Making Disciples chronicles author Michael Mitchell's educational pilgrimage and asserts his conviction that God has provided a design for making disciple-followers. Reflecting upon biblical wisdom affirmed by nearly four decades of frontline experience, he produces unique and practical models for teaching and leading. His work identifies and integrates the strategic ideas that promote excellence in discipleship and produce service that is truly great and global. Living out the principles and procedures laid out in Leading, Teaching, and Making Disciples will enable both emerging and seasoned Christian educators to become world-class servants. Here, readers will encounter the keys to effective missional ministry. They will also come to a better understanding of the content and context of education and how to separate the chaff from the wheat in the vast field of available information. Testimonial: You must read this book! I hired Mike Mitchell to train men and women for ministry at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary because he has lived what he teaches. He is not a theory-only professor, he is action! What you hold in your hands is a lifetime of ministry education experience, gleaned from serving Jesus in churches and schools. Dr. Mike, as he is known to his students, lays out how to help people grow in Christ in real ways that can be practiced anywhere in the world. This is what we demand of our professors at LBTS and this is why Dr. Mike is one of our students' favorites. If you do not buy this book, you are missing something that will deeply affect the way you look at leading, teaching and making disciples. Dr. Ergun M.
