The Next Step: A Model For Personal Discipleship
Stanley JohnsonPaperback 2014-06-27
Publisher Description
Once you come to know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, what is the next step? If you have been a believer for a while and want to grow further, what is the next step? If you have grown in your faith and want to learn how to help other believers grow in theirs, what is the next step? This book will begin to answer these important questions. In Peter's second letter to scattered believers, he challenges us to add seven character qualities to our faith that will help us grow to be more like Christ. The Next Step looks at these seven character qualities, along with God's corresponding attributes, to help us grow in these qualities as we grow in our understanding of God's character. In every chapter, Johnson introduces readers to prayer, grace, and practical ways to begin reaching out to the people God places in our lives. The Next Step will help you grow in your daily walk with the Lord and will launch you on a lifelong journey of investing in others to help them walk with Christ. I have worked closely in ministry with Stan Johnson for almost twenty years now. He's the real deal. His life backs up his teaching. In The Next Step, Stan has provided a clear, practical discipleship tool that can be used individually, one-on-one, or in small groups to help you and others develop godly knowledge, character, and ministry skills. Get it, use it yourself, use it with others, and watch the Lord change hearts and lives. --Steven J. Cole, Flagstaff Christian Fellowship, Flagstaff, AZ Years ago, as a new university student and new believer, I met Stan Johnson on my very first day of classes. Stan not only befriended me, but also encouraged me in the areas of Bible study, personal devotions, Scripture memory, and service to others. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the spiritual foundation I would build my life on. Get this book in the hands of as many people as you can! --Steve Sundin, Strong Tower Ministries, Orange County, CA Taking the new Christ follower to that next step of commitment to become a faithful disciple of his Lord can be a daunting task. Among the many challenges we face is finding an effective model and tool that incorporates as many of the spiritual disciplines as possible, such as bible study, personal quiet time, journaling, or worship. Out of his many years of ministry, Stan Johnson has crafted one of the most useful and easy to use discipleship tools I have seen in my over fifty years of pastoral ministry. --Wayne R. Lehsten, Scottsdale Bible Church, Scottsdale, AZ Stanley P. Johnson is Associate Pastor at Flagstaff Christian Fellowship in Flagstaff, AZ. He graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1981 and has served in churches in California, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
