Discovering the Heart of Great Training
Paul J. Bucknell
A biblical framework for joining God’s life-giving work with the stages of spiritual growth and purposeful discipleship training.
About the Book
How do you train up godly leaders in your church?
Why can a church offer many activities and training programs yet see little spiritual growth? How can leaders help believers grow toward maturity and serve others effectively?
In The Life Core: Discovering the Heart of Great Training, Paul J. Bucknell examines the source of spiritual life and the stages of Christian growth. By bringing together the Life Analogy and the Growth Analogy, he shows how discipleship and leadership training can meet believers’ needs at each stage.
The book calls churches and leaders to pass on a compelling biblical vision of the Lord, His work, and His church. With practical guidance, study questions, and more than seventy-five illustrations throughout its 268 pages, it helps readers think through training that equips people to grow and help others grow.
