I’m often asked about good books for those wanting to see Kingdom movements or disciple-making movements (DMM).
Here are some excellent places to start:
1. The Bible. If you only choose one book, this is the one!
Read and ask:
– What is God’s ultimate vision? What is He working towards?
– How did Jesus, Paul and others make disciples?
– How did Jesus, Paul and others lead?
2. Contagious Disciple-Making by David Watson & Paul Watson. Principles, fundamentals and first steps in DMM for a North American audience. Stretching read. The authors don’t pull any punches as they challenge God’s people to operate differently for the sake of the harvest. This book is not for the faint-hearted!https://www.bookdepository.com/Contagious-Disciple-Making-David-Watson/9780529112200?ref=pd_detail_1_sims_b_p2p_11
