Discipleship Material from Dr. Peter Amerman
*ORDER AT AMAZON.COM*
For nearly 40 years, I have been developing a tool to disciple believers in what Christians believe, why Christians believe it and why it matters. I finally put into book form in this Bible study series called, "Mastering the Basics."
This study is meant to be “transferable”. That is, it is the kind of study that one could undertake on one’s own, and then use to assist others in their growth in Christ. This study could be used in:
• One-to-one discipleship setting (at a home, at work, library, restaurant, coffee shop)
• Small group Bible study
• Youth or Young Adult groups
• Leadership training classes
• College or Bible School classes
The lessons flow better if the participants look up verses as “homework” in preparation for each class. This also develops the habits of discipline, commitment and perseverance, and encourages participants to establish a daily quiet time.
**Book #1 covers: A Biblical Worldview; The Nature and Character of God; The Bible as the Word of God; Creation and the Uniqueness of Man; The Trinity; The Fall and Redemption & The Ten Commandments.
**Book #2 covers: Jesus Christ as True God and True Man; The Basic Gospel Message; The Resurrection of Jesus Christ; Christ in the Old Testament Scriptures; Abundant Life in Christ; Prophecy and the First Coming of Christ; Prophecy and the Second Coming of Christ.
**Book #3 covers: The Holy Spirit; Spiritual Warfare; Christian Growth; Prayer; Spiritual Gifts &: Life After Death.
**Book #4 covers: The Church and Christian Fellowship; Witnessing;Victory over Temptation; Principles of Knowing God’s Will; Stewardship and Giving & About World Religions.
I believe that by the time you complete book 4, you will have "Mastered the Basics" of the Christian faith! Enjoy the study, and when you are done, order a copy to share with someone else.
