12 Disciples – 12 Books

Below are 12 books that we recommend for anyone interested in discipleship and mission (in alphabetical order). These books, while some could be challenging, are not beyond the grasp of any current (or future) disciple or missionary. You will find them to be very useful in discipling those within your sphere of influence.

Announcing the Kingdom – Arthur Glasser

Exclusion and Embrace – Miraslov Volf

Let the Nation’s Be Glad – John Piper

Knowing God – J.I. Packer

Mere Christianity – C. S. Lewis

It should be remembered that there is one book that is the foundation for the other twelve – The Holy Bible. The Bible is, and always will be the best-selling book on discipleship and on God’s mission to the world of all time. It has new insights for us each time we read it, as we are led by the Spirit.
