Many Christians want to make disciples. But few ever feel prepared to do so.

If we are going to partner with Jesus in his great co-mission to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to obey, then we must be equipped to handle the word of truth faithfully and accurately. We must be ready to help people fall in love with Jesus and give their full allegiances to him alone.

Themed around the "seven ones" of Ephesians 4:4-6 and designed to stimulate discovery, this question-oriented resource acts both as a field guide for disciple making, as well as a framework to build unity with other Christians on Jesus’ mission.
Making disciples of Jesus is challenging, but it is some of the most rewarding and fulfilling endeavors to which we can spend our lives. And everyone can do it! This book will equip you to begin the journey ahead, the journey of becoming an effective fisher of people.

Praise for One:

“There is always a need in the church for resources that will empower God’s people to carry out our purpose and mission in the world. Jon Sherwood has deftly provided such a resource for studying the Bible with people who have yet to become followers of Jesus. This is a Bible study resource that strikes the right balance of still having a familiar feel for disciples who are seasoned in studying the Bible with those seeking Christ, while also providing new and in depth explanations, background information, guidance, and thought provoking material to be a worthwhile new resource for those passionate about making disciples.”

The title “One” got me. After many years of being a follower of Jesus, Christian leader, teacher, pastor, evangelist, father, friend, and neighbor … I am now appreciating and desiring simplicity in my life. The world seems complicated. When asked about the greatest commandment, Jesus told the expert in the law two commandments: love God, love neighbor; all other commandments hung on those. Jon writes with clarity on the important topic of disciple-making and uses a framework to keep discipleship simple. This does not mean following Jesus is easy to do, but the process of making disciples should be simple to understand.

“This book is just the tool we need to help build unity amongst the Christian community. I feel it’s a step toward Jesus’ prayer for all believers in John 17 and I believe it will have an impact on many for the kingdom and glory of God.”
