Salt & Light: Everyday Discipleship

Would you like to know God more deeply?

Do you want to "go and make disciples of all nations" but aren't sure how to begin? Do you have people who you pray for but can't speak to about spiritual things without feeling unqualified or judgmental? Salt & Light: Everyday Discipleship is designed to help people who want to share the hope and love of Christ with others in a more fruitful way. It promotes disciple making as a lifestyle that is intentional, yet disarming, by equipping believers to initiate spiritual conversations and share the Gospel, Bible stories, or personal testimonies fluently. The authors read and studied numerous church planting, disciple making, and orality movement books, videos, blogs, websites, and podcasts before writing the study. They prayerfully created resources that bring people to Christ and make disciples in a small group format, training them to fulfill the Great Commission with oral strategies.
