"Jesus
Christ told us that we are to make disciples of all
nations. This goes beyond evangelism and involves
the discipling of young believers into mature soldiers
of Christ. This should be the goal of every church
and every Christian.
"Peter
Hammond's new book, Discipleship Handbook is an excellent
guide in the discipling of new Christians. I recommend
it for everyone's use."
Dr. D James Kennedy,
President Evangelism Explosion International
"Once
again Dr. Peter Hammond has given much thought to
different aspects of the whole question of discipleship.
What I like about the Discipleship Handbook is the
practical down to earth substance that is provided.
"I
believe the truths conveyed here can be given across
any cultural, denominational and linguistic barrier.
I recommend it to those not only young in the faith
but to all. For many who are preachers you will find
much preaching material included.
Dr Harold Peasley, Director Multi Ministries
: Southern Africa
"I
so appreciate both the strong Biblical content and
the historical depth evident in this little book.
It is also a reflection of the spiritual lessons learned
by the author in decades of 'high risk' ministry .
Here is an unusual discipling tool which offers no
easy pathway for Christians to follow, but one that
offers a spiritual road-map for 21st Century believers
in a hostile world and a challenge to complete the
Great Commission task Jesus gave to His Church."
Patrick Johnstone, WEC International, Author;
Operation World.
"Jesus
said to go and make disciples. Too often we seem to
have changed that to go and make converts. If every
Christian took the time to read this comprehensive
guide to discipleship, we would indeed have more disciples
and less baby Christians who seem to remain as perpetual
infants in the Lord.”
Jerry Newcombe, Senior Producer of The Coral Ridge
Hour and co-author of What
if Jesus Had Never Been Born?.
"Many
books promise so much, but deliver little. Never Dr.
Hammond's. The Discipleship Handbook is a concise,
power packed blend of stark testimonies, sound foundational
teaching, and real life guidelines based on Scripture.
There are no clever complexities, nothing vague or
outlandish, and no tedious extrapolation. The message
is a tough one, but it's the real thing."
Hedd Thomas, Missionary,
Kenya
"This
is a manual born out of years of 'battle' experience.
I believe, as an ex-combatant, having served alongside
Peter Hammond during our National Service days, experiencing
opposition and having to contend daily for the faith
the conception of a Discipleship Handbook took place.
Twenty three years of experience later the Discipleship
Handbook has been birthed.
"As
a soldier of Jesus Christ we know that our battle
is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities
and powers of darkness arrayed against our souls.
Like the Bible this handbook is a worthy tool one
can use as a weapon against the enemy. A must for
any 'soldier' worthy of the Call."
Johan Leach - Executive Director of Waymakers
Ministries, Director 'The Farm' Cape Town.
"The
Discipleship Handbook is a must for every serious
leader and believer. In this age of watered down 'easy
believism' and 'cheap grace' we need this "Discipleship
Handbook" by Dr. Peter Hammond. Whether we like
it or not this life will soon be over and face to
face we will meet our Creator.
"That
is why we need a book - which to me is next to my
Bible. It is the greatest investment to have it. For
me I want all our former, present and future Bible
College students, all the prisoners we minister to
and all my fellow Christians to have it. And I want
it translated into my local language. You will never
be the same after reading it."
Nedson W Milanzi - Leader Good News Revival
Centre, Principal World Harvest School of Missions
and Coordinator
for Project Destiny in Prisons of Malawi
“Handbooks
are handy because they help us to actually do (or
be) certain things. Peter Hammond's Discipleship
Handbook is one you will want to keep close at
hand. It is a treasure trove of practical truth for
anyone interested in following Jesus Christ. It is
simple enough to bless and encourage a new Christian
and profound enough to inspire a seasoned saint. One
time through will not be enough. You will be motivated
to read it again and again. It is indeed a classic,
in league with Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.
“If
you love the Word of God, this is a book you will
highly esteem. Unless you want to argue with Scripture,
you won't be able to refute the logic of its premise.
The Discipleship Handbook establishes a Biblical
standard to which we can all aspire. It is highly
practical, very positive, loaded with appropriate
quotations from the Bible and answers concisely in
twelve specific categories the question, ‘What
is a Christian?’
“Oswald
Chambers observed, ‘The secret of a disciple's
life is devotion to Jesus Christ, and the characteristic
of the life it its unobtrusiveness.’ The Discipleship
Handbook will help you achieve that goal.
“Of
all the books I've read by Peter Hammond, this is
my favorite. Peter is serious about our Lord's command
to ‘… go and make disciples … teaching
them to obey.’ Matthew 28:19,20. In a day when
Christians have lost the shock of sin, and the Church
seems to have abandoned the awe of God's holiness,
this book will rekindle the smoldering fires of devotion
that have burned low for too long.
“It
was Carlyle who said, ‘He is wise who can instruct
us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous
living.’ The Discipleship Handbook will
do just that. It is beautifully organized and easy
to study. Your investment of time and treasure to
buy and read this book will be well worth the effort
and expenditure.”
Rev. Bill Bathman, President, In Touch Mission
International, author of Going
Through.
“Dealing
comprehensively with the key issues of discipleship
the Discipleship Handbook is an excellent resource
tool. It can be confidently given into the hands of
young Christians, read on its own or worked through
as a group. I pray that God will use it to produce
a generation of mature believers, able and willing
to contend for the Faith.”
Rev.
Stephen Smyth, St. Andrews Church
of England in South Africa (CESA).
"Time
has gone when people have been led to Christ Jesus
and left as babies in the Lord for years and some
even die as babies in the Word of God. Spiritual
maturity has become a rare thing.
"
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to
explain because you are so slow to understand. By
now you should be teachers, but you need someone to
teach you again the first lessons of God message ...
" Hebrews 5:11 - 12
"The
Discipleship Handbook is an amazing instrument
because it takes one step by step to the foundational
teaching of the Word of God.
"This
Handbook is an emphasis on what our Lord Jesus Christ
commissioned us to do:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...
" Matthew 28:19
"Once
we read the Handbook, we shall be equipped and we
shall not be tossed right and left or taken away from
the truth as some have been.
"This
Handbook caters for both the adults and youths; for
rural and urban; for under developed, developing and
developed intellectuals. It speaks to the heart, the
mind and the soul of man.
"The
author has provided this Handbook to equip us to disciple
both new and old believers who are not grounded in
the Word , so that we may be effective in our lives
and ministries. This book is not just theory but also
practical.
"I
am very confident that this Discipleship Handbook
will be a blessing to those who want to change lives
and change this world."
Eugene
M. Kalunga, Principal, Excellence Christian Academy;
Kabwe, Zambia
"I
have known Peter Hammond since he was a young man
seeking to know what the Lord wanted him to do. From
that time, as I have watched what the Lord has done
in his life. I have seen the development of a man
of God who is skilled in discipleship. He has much
that he can contribute from his spiritual and practical
experience."
Dr. Chris Parnell, past President of the Baptist
Union of Southern Africa; Founding Principal of the
Baptist Theological College, Cape Town
"It
gives me great pleasure to say 'Read this book!'
"We
live in a world where we are in danger of being swamped
by Islam, communism and humanism.
It is time to get together to resist the common foe
- and to realise that all Christians have a much better
chance of settling our differences if we work together
as friends.
"Read
this book. It is about basic Christianity, about believing
it and living it. Nothing is more important than this,
for it is our Christian witness which will prove the
truth of our faith. And it is our Christian lives
which will bring unbelievers to Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ."
Father Arthur Lewis, President of the Rhodesia
Christian Group, Retired Church of England missionary
to Tanzania, Rhodesia and South Africa.
