Making New Disciples cover

Offers an up-to-date overview of trends and patterns in making new disciples within the church.

Ten years on from their first book, Evangelism: Which way now? – still a valued and much recommended resource – Mark Ireland and Mike Booker aim to take people a step further. Making New Disciples offers a practical approach, based on careful theological reflection and years of hands-on experience in local church leadership, theological education and the national church. The book is not so much a guide to the available resources, as a wrestling with the paradoxes of evangelism in a changing world, backed up with plenty of stories and specific examples.

I value this book and heartily commend it. -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
As we have come to expect from these authors, Making New Disciples is readable in style, honest in confronting problems and hopeful in its solutions. With its broad understanding of discipleship as the development of the whole human person in Christ, there is plenty here to challenge those who are fully signed up to the discipleship agenda and a great deal of wise guidance for those who struggle to understand it. Vital reading for anyone interested in growing new Christians. -- Philip North, Bishop of Burnley
A brilliant book that doesn’t pull its punches in highlighting the contemporary challenges facing mission within the Church, but leaves you with a strong, God-centred sense of hope. I’ll be buying a copy for all my colleagues – what more can I say?! -- The Revd Rhiannon King, Director of Mission, Birmingham Diocese
I really warm to Evangelism: Which Way Now? It is helpful, honest and hopeful . . . Well done Mark Ireland and Mike Booker. Though Anglicans they speak beyond their denominational boundary to all the churches in Britain who are concerned about evangelism and mission. * Reform, Journal of the United Reformed Church *
If I had to recommend one single book to someone who wants to think seriously about evangelistic engagement I have no hesitation in saying that this [Evangelism: Which Way Now?] would be it. * Pilgrim Post, journal of Churches Together in England *
