A Disciple’s Path is an engaging approach to discipleship from a distinctly Wesleyan perspective. Whether used as an introduction for new members or a renewal course for existing members, the program guides individuals to take the next step in discipleship and become dynamic, engaged followers of Jesus Christ. The study combines a Wesleyan understanding of our growth in God’s love and grace with the time-tested practices of spiritual discipline expressed in the membership vows to uphold the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Participants will develop spiritual practices, discover their unique gifts, and become engaged in ministry that brings transformation in their own lives, the lives of others, and the world. This Companion Reader provides invaluable insights that enable both participants and leaders to dig deeper into the spiritual practices essential to the life of discipleship. Each chapter corresponds to a week in the Daily Workbook, providing biblical and theological background on the week’s theme from a distinctively Wesleyan perspective. Perfect for enhancing personal or group study and reflection, answering questions, and providing material for worship planning during a congregation-wide emphasis. “A very useful explanation of the traditional Wesleyan view of Christian discipleship, strengthened in particular by its stress on the balanced approach of the Methodist way.” —Dr. Richard P. Heitzenrater, Duke University Divnity School “A Disciple’s Path resonates with the spirit of John Wesley, whose guidance applies to fledgling twenty-first century disciples.” —David Brownlee, Lead Pastor, Christ United Methodist Church, Jackson, Mississippi

The Daily Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer are perhaps the greatest liturgical treasures of the Anglican Communion. Providing a balance of scripture, psalter, canticles and prayer, the Office has been widely emulated in other Christian traditions. Once seen as a primary obligation of the clergy, it has increasingly become a valued part of the regular prayer of the whole church. Many have come to see it as a way of systematically encouraging the scriptures and incorporating their timeless message into the needs and concerns of daily life. Clearly it is excellent preparation for the celebration of the eucharist itself as it fosters faith, hope, love, devotion and the spirit of self-denial. Daily Office Book contains the complete texts of the Office as provided in The Book of Common Prayer (1979), the psaletr, the prayers, the collects and the office readings in their entirety. -- Preface

The events in Matthew 14:2533 nkjv ~ are a spiritual experience, thought-provoking, transformational, informative, timeless, and enduring for all believers. In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. The disciples saw him walking on the sea, were troubled with fear. Disciples: It is a ghost! Jesus: Be of good cheer! It is I. Do not be afraid. Peter: Lord! If it is You, command me to walk to you on the water. Jesus: Walk! And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid. Beginning to sink, he cried out. Peter: Lord, save me! And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him. Jesus: O you of little faith, why did you doubt? And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped him. Everyone: Truly! You are the Son of God!
