Basic Training Manuals – Much More Than Knowledge
The following three Basic Training Manuals are designed to give much more than just knowledge.
- Basics about God – Book 1 is a workbook that uses the Bible to discover God’s character and to survey the overall story of the Bible.
- Basics of God’s Training – Book 2 is a mentoring guide that uses the Bible for “life-on-life” personal discipleship and character growth.
- Basics of God’s Plan for Relationships – Book 3 presents a model for family and church from the Bible, including practical steps for training leaders.
Free PDF copies of Books 1, 2, and 3 are available at the following links:
Book 1 – Basics about God
Understand who God is by understanding
how God has revealed himself in the whole Bible.
_______________________
Book 2 – Basics of God’s Training
Learn from the Bible how to learn and apply basic lessons that Jesus taught his disciples
_______________________
Book 3 – Basics of God’s Plan for Relationships
Learn what the Bible says about the two most important environments for personal growth: your family and your church. (Previously titled “Basics of God’s Family.”)
When these three manuals are used in conjunction with the Bible, they are complete enough for a leader to disciple a new believer who knows nothing yet about God and the Bible. The three manuals are also comprehensive enough for a new disciple to be equipped and trained to become a spiritual parent and train others, and eventually to become a qualified pastor or leader in a church.
