    A remedy for ecclesiastic insanity. Courage required.
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2012*

The American church, especially the Evangeilcal brand, wonders why Christianity is losing ground and becoming increasingly irrelevent. Could it be that the whole approach to "doing church", the traditional models, processes, and structures, don't need mere tweaking, but re-thought and re-tooled from square one. To continue to mostly do things the way they have typically and historically been done and expect a radically different result... well we all know what that defines... insanity. Trustin Greek method to bring about life and character change, especially in the spiritual realm, has for generations delivered spotty, unimpressive, and unsustained results. A person with experience, wisdom, and knowledge stands before a class or congregation and sincerely hopes to tranfer those things to them by the spoken word then hopes the listener somehow figures out how to turn it into shoe leather for life on the street. Those Both deliveres and receivers then wonder why there is s little routine and observable change toward Christ-like character, values, and behavior. This method seems to be very efficient, optimizing minimal human/spiritual resources to touch the most people in the shortest amount time with the least effort. Scripture bears out that God is not concerned with efficiency, yet that method still remains in the ecclesiastic DNA, seeming to have evolved into some kind of inviolable sacrament in itself. Few deny it works poorly toward its intended end. The primary defense for its retention is "it what we know how to do," the bondage of the familiar and manageable. To change to another takes too much vision, patience, humility, and courage.Jim Putnam started Real Life Church in 1998 with 4 people, if you count him and his wife, in an unfamiliar location with a different model and set of values... a huge advantage over trying to re-invent an existing, tradition-bound entity. "Doing church" or "the Show" was not on his agenda. This model consists of a framework of connected small groups/communities of trust and purpose, intent on building Christ-like character with a strong emphasis on outward vision and personal reproduction. These relationships, with the added element of accountability, are the engine of change. Real Life Church stayed true to those values and methods even as it began to rapidly grow, both wide and deep. As described in the book, the results after 12 years of producing multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ are impressive.Church leaders interested in reading Real Life Discipleship might want to reconsider unless they are prepared to actually do something with what they learn. Otherwise it will just be yet another informational foray into "church change" that goes on the shelf unheeded. For Putnam's compelling model to bear fruit first requires the conviction and vision that change is necessary. That vision, awareness, and conviction may abound but it is the courage to act on them that is in short supply.Putnam and Real Life Church don't just speak a good brand. They offer training for church leaders who want to make a change.

This book is a must for any Pastor that is serious about the great commission. It demystifies the disciple-making responsibilities.

    REAL Discipleship
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024*

Yes this book gives a step-by-step process now used by a church that began with only two couples meeting to now well over 8500 members worldwide! This church uses a small group of TWELVE men or women that goes through a five stage process through teaching Share, Connect, Minister and Disciple.I'm planning to buy the training manual also.
