rating: 5 stars

The Disciple’s Manual by William MacDonald is an exceptional book, which I advise every believer to read. It urges the Christian to step into the radical life that Jesus Christ has called us into—and be a mentor to others.

MacDonald teaches in a friendly, fast-paced way with dozens of quotes from other experienced men and women of God who have discipled growing believers. One of Jesus’ examples, MacDonald instructs, is “on-the-job-training.” It is not enough to teach; we must walk with others to show them the life of faith.

There are four primary sections to this sizable book: Christian Discipleship, Christian Character, Christian Life, and Christian Service. I admit that the first section tested my own commitment to Christ. “What we can teach is limited by what we ourselves have learned.”

This book is not called a “manual” by accident. The Disciple’s Manual is a handbook for all Christian teachers, preachers, and counselors. The chapters are labeled well and the writing is without ambiguity. As I am involved in discipling, this has become one of the most-used books now in my library, since it guides the believer through such a wide range of Christian topics—to pass on to others.

Whoever reads The Disciple’s Manual will be convicted and urged toward a more radical life of service for God according to His Word. Every book MacDonald has written for the growing Christian is worthy of attention. I have read over a dozen of his booklets and/or commentaries, and I’ve never been disappointed. This book is no exception.

William MacDonald has gone to be with the Lord now, but he has left behind a helpful and rich legacy for the Church. I give The Disciple’s Manual a five star rating, and have placed it on my “Christian must-reads” bookshelf.--D.I. Telbat

Description of The Disciple's Manual from its book page:
The Disciple's Manual is pure, undiluted Christianity. What every disciple is called to is as radical as it comes. For more than half a century, practicing and proclaiming biblical discipleship has been the author's heart-beat. This is that life's ministry captured for you in a book. Hundreds of practical helps on the key issues.
