In his book, Discipleship According to Jesus, Fred Campbell issues a clarion call to return to biblical discipleship. This definitive look at discipleship helps us understand the Scriptures regarding the meaning, the model, the method, and the mandate of discipleship -so that we may obey with new understanding - and disciple according to the way Jesus did it.
Fred Campbell shares his "Thoughts" on discipleship according to Jesus. He posits that discipleship must be personal and steeped with obediencewhich is a characteristic of the People of God. We must be an Obedient Church; following Jesus' Model of Making a Disciple; Making Disciples throughRelationship; Making Disciples through Reflection; and Reproducing Disciples. Multiplication is the most effective method of church growth. As disciples engage in making, marking, maturing, and multiplying disciples, the Spirit's presence will manifest itself in power to obey. This is evidence of Jesus' Residential Presence in the Disciple.
