SILOAM
SPRINGS, Ark., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Dr.
Raymond Heiser provides a thoughtful, interesting exploration
about discipleship in Following Jesus as a Disciple($17.99, paperback, 9781662899638; $8.99, e-book, 9781662899645).
When using other discipleship materials
through the years, I often added material to bridge gaps for new
disciples. As the additional material accumulated and through the
urging of students, the decision was made to incorporate it all
into a book on discipleship.
Having been involved in church ministries for more than 6
decades, Dr. Heiser has valuable knowledge and experience with
discipleship. In his book, he provides thought-provoking answers to
questions such as what a disciple is, how disciples are made, and
what is the purpose of being a disciple other than just obeying the
Master's command? Readers will be interested to discover some
patterns and processes for becoming a mature disciple that Dr.
Heiser explores in detail. He wants readers to know that being a
disciple comes with its share of challenges in the form of external
and internal opposition. However, through careful investigation on
his part, Dr. Heiser thoroughly explains to disciples that
alertness and recognition of these challenges is the key to dealing
with the adversity. The book also covers several of Jesus'
practices in addition to encouraging disciples to follow His lead
by teaching others and demonstrating all that He taught and
accomplished.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Dr.
Heiser said, "When using other discipleship materials through the

the additional material accumulated and through the urging of
students, the decision was made to incorporate it all into a book
on discipleship."
