Changing the Landscape of Eternity: Transforming Believers into Disciples

Do you long for a life of eternal impact? Church congregations around the world struggle to maintain equilibrium as their attendance plateaus or declines. Moral problems are rampant, with no sign of improvement. What has happened to the Great Commission? What does it mean for us today? What does it mean to you? In Changing the Landscape of Eternity: Transforming Believers into Disciples, Pastor John Thompson challenges and guides church leaders and other believers who desire to make a difference for Christ. Thompson explores effective discipleship, focusing on the methods Jesus and first-century Christian leaders used to make disciples and translating them into modern, practical strategies. He addresses such questions as: How is a life transformed into a mature follower of Christ? How can we create small groups that produce disciples? How can we, as parents, disciple our own children, and how can the Church have the greatest impact on their lives? Believers who desire to follow the example and instructions of our Lord, experiencing the impact on the world that Jesus intended, will be equipped to actualize his clear and simple directive: "Go and make disciples."

After serving as a missionary and pastor for over three decades, John L. Thompson is now on staff with the Navigators, enthusiastically training pastors and leading seminars in the art of making disciples for Christ. He and his wife, Debbie, have four grown children, each faithfully serving the Lord within the city of Chicago. not applicable
