Discipleship

I have been working through an old (but goodie) Bible Study by Avery Willis who died recently.  See a fitting tribute by Jerry Rankin HERE.  The study is entitled "LifeGuide: Discipleship & Doctrine (Using the Disciple's Study Bible)".  Both the study and the Disciple's Study Bible are out of print.  I found them in my Dad's library.
Here is the 2nd edition of the Disciples Study Bible (also out of print)
Disciple's Study Bible: New International Version
What a great tool!!  One of the key facets of this Bible is how it outlines major doctrines of Christianity throughout the whole Bible as well as providing histories, Scripture references, chain references, and study helps.

One such example is the Doctrine of Discipleship.  Over the next couple of days, I am going to outline for you the following from the Disciple's Study Bible notes:
1.  Nature of and preparation for discipleship
2.  Guidelines for discipleship
3.  Purpose of discipleship
4.  Focus on discipleship

The material shared is from the Disciple's Study Bible.  I hope you find it striking, encouraging, and challenging.  Watch everyday this week for more!!  I would love to get your thoughts!

  1. I've never had the pleasure to look through the Disciples Study Bible, but I've always wanted to see what it's about. Thanks for posting this.

  2. You bet. It is unfortunate that the Bible is out of print. I called Broadman and Holman about the Bible and they stated that they may have a new version (based on the Holman Christian Standard Bible) coming out in 2012
