Book of Books


I hope you have heard about the latest course in the Impact Basics Discipleship Series. It is called Book of Books and it is an eight week survey of the entire Bible. Now obviously you only scratch the surface in eight weeks, but for some people the thing they need most is to cover a lot of ground in a hurry. Book of Books does just that!

Of all the discipleship courses I have written, Book of Books may just scratch the greatest itch. I am amazed at how little people know about the Bible. Even people who have grown up in church, have very little knowledge of how the Bible is written and what it says. If you spend eight weeks in Book of Books you will build a foundation for learning more in-depth about the Bible. Contact Impact Ministries if you would like to get a copy of Book of Books. You'll be glad you did!

A Lesson in Disciple Making



This video of the "Raven" is a great lesson in disciple making. Here is a man who started running one day and hasn't stopped yet. He has been running the same eight mile stretch of beach for over thirty years. During that time people from all over the world have come to run with him. He has inspired runners and built a community among runners.

I believe with all my heart that Jesus wants us to make disciples like Raven makes runners. He longs for disciple makers that will simply "go the distance". Christ wants us to run for him and to influence as many people as possible to run for Him as well. That is the purpose of life- to be a disciple and to build more disciples! May we all be "Ravens' for Jesus.

"Jesus said, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)
