 Reviews.

"Jesus Christ told us that we are to make disciples of all nations. This goes beyond evangelism and involves the discipling of young believers into mature soldiers of Christ. This should be the goal of every church and every Christian.

 "Peter Hammond’s new book, Discipleship Handbook is an excellent guide in the discipling of new Christians. I recommend it for everyone’s use."

Dr. D James Kennedy, President Evangelism Explosion International

 "Once again Dr. Peter Hammond has given much thought to different aspects of the whole question of discipleship. What I like about the Discipleship Handbook is the practical down to earth substance that is provided.

 "I believe the truths conveyed here can be given across any cultural, denominational and linguistic barrier. I recommend it to those not only young in the faith but to all. For many who are preachers you will find much preaching material included."

Dr Harold Peasley, Director Multi Ministries : Southern Africa

 "I so appreciate both the strong Biblical content and the historical depth evident in this little book. It is also a reflection of the spiritual lessons learned by the author in decades of ’high risk’ ministry . Here is an unusual discipling tool which offers no easy pathway for Christians to follow, but one that offers a spiritual road-map for 21st Century believers in a hostile world and a challenge to complete the Great Commission task Jesus gave to His Church."

Patrick Johnstone, WEC International, Author; Operation World.

 "Jesus said to go and make disciples. Too often we seem to have changed that to go and make converts. If every Christian took the time to read this comprehensive guide to discipleship, we would indeed have more disciples and less baby Christians who seem to remain as perpetual infants in the Lord."

Jerry Newcombe, Senior Producer of The Coral Ridge Hour and co-author of What if Jesus Had Never Been Born?.

 "Many books promise so much, but deliver little. Never Dr. Hammond’s. The Discipleship Handbook is a concise, power packed blend of stark testimonies, sound foundational teaching, and real life guidelines based on Scripture.

There are no clever complexities, nothing vague or outlandish, and no tedious extrapolation. The message is a tough one, but it’s the real thing."

 Hedd Thomas, Missionary, Kenya

 "This is a manual born out of years of ’battle’ experience. I believe, as an ex-combatant, having served alongside Peter Hammond during our National Service days, experiencing opposition and having to contend daily for the faith the conception of a Discipleship Handbook took place. Twenty three years of experience later the Discipleship Handbook has been birthed.

 "As a soldier of Jesus Christ we know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers of darkness arrayed against our souls. Like the Bible this handbook is a worthy tool one can use as a weapon against the enemy. A must for any ’soldier’ worthy of the Call."

Johan Leach - Executive Director of Waymakers Ministries, Director ’The Farm’ Cape Town.

"The Discipleship Handbook is a must for every serious leader and believer.

In this age of watered down ’easy believism’ and ’cheap grace’ we need this "Discipleship Handbook" by Dr. Peter Hammond. Whether we like it or not this life will soon be over and face to face we will meet our Creator.

"That is why we need a book - which to me is next to my Bible. It is the greatest investment to have it. For me I want all our former, present and future Bible College students, all the prisoners we minister to and all my fellow Christians to have it. And I want it translated into my local language. You will never be the same after reading it."

Nedson W Milanzi - Leader Good News Revival Centre, Principal World Harvest School of Missions and Coordinator for Project Destiny in Prisons of Malawi

 "Handbooks are handy because they help us to actually do (or be) certain things. Peter Hammond’s Discipleship Handbook is one you will want to keep close at hand. It is a treasure trove of practical truth for anyone interested in following Jesus Christ. It is simple enough to bless and encourage a new Christian and profound enough to inspire a seasoned saint.

One time through will not be enough. You will be motivated to read it again and again. It is indeed a classic, in league with Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

"If you love the Word of God, this is a book you will highly esteem. Unless you want to argue with Scripture, you won’t be able to refute the logic of its premise. The Discipleship Handbook establishes a Biblical standard to which we can all aspire. It is highly practical, very positive, loaded with appropriate quotations from the Bible and answers concisely in twelve specific categories the question, ’What is a Christian?’

"Oswald Chambers observed, ’The secret of a disciple’s life is devotion to Jesus Christ, and the characteristic of the life it its unobtrusiveness.’

The Discipleship Handbook will help you achieve that goal.

"Of all the books I’ve read by Peter Hammond, this is my favorite. Peter is serious about our Lord’s command to ’. go and make disciples . teaching them to obey.’ Matthew 28:19,20. In a day when Christians have lost the shock of sin, and the Church seems to have abandoned the awe of God’s holiness, this book will rekindle the smoldering fires of devotion that have burned low for too long.

"It was Carlyle who said, ’He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous living.’ The Discipleship Handbook will do just that. It is beautifully organized and easy to study. Your investment of time and treasure to buy and read this book will be well worth the effort and expenditure."

Rev. Bill Bathman, President, In Touch Mission International, author of Going Through.

"Dealing comprehensively with the key issues of discipleship the Discipleship Handbook is an excellent resource tool. It can be confidently given into the hands of young Christians, read on its own or worked through as a group. I pray that God will use it to produce a generation of mature believers, able and willing to contend for the Faith."

Rev. Stephen Smyth, St. Andrews Church of England in South Africa (CESA).

"Time has gone when people have been led to Christ Jesus and left as babies in the Lord for years and some even die as babies in the Word of God. Spiritual maturity has become a rare thing.

" We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are so slow to understand. By now you should be teachers, but you need someone to teach you again the first lessons of God message ... " Hebrews 5:11 - 12

"The Discipleship Handbook is an amazing instrument because it takes one step by step to the foundational teaching of the Word of God.

"This Handbook is an emphasis on what our Lord Jesus Christ commissioned us to do: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... " Matthew 28:19

"Once we read the Handbook, we shall be equipped and we shall not be tossed right and left or taken away from the truth as some have been.

"This Handbook caters for both the adults and youths; for rural and urban; for under developed, developing and developed intellectuals. It speaks to the heart, the mind and the soul of man.

"The author has provided this Handbook to equip us to disciple both new and old believers who are not grounded in the Word , so that we may be effective in our lives and ministries. This book is not just theory but also practical.

"I am very confident that this Discipleship Handbook will be a blessing to those who want to change lives and change this world."

Eugene M. Kalunga, Principal, Excellence Christian Academy; Kabwe, Zambia

"I have known Peter Hammond since he was a young man seeking to know what the Lord wanted him to do. From that time, as I have watched what the Lord has done in his life. I have seen the development of a man of God who is skilled in discipleship. He has much that he can contribute from his spiritual and practical experience."

Dr. Chris Parnell, past President of the Baptist Union of Southern Africa; Founding Principal of the Baptist Theological College, Cape Town

"It gives me great pleasure to say ’Read this book!’

"We live in a world where we are in danger of being swamped by Islam, communism and humanism.

It is time to get together to resist the common foe - and to realise that all Christians have a much better chance of settling our differences if we work together as friends.

"Read this book. It is about basic Christianity, about believing it and living it. Nothing is more important than this, for it is our Christian witness which will prove the truth of our faith. And it is our Christian lives which will bring unbelievers to Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

Father Arthur Lewis, President of the Rhodesia Christian Group, Retired Church of England missionary to Tanzania, Rhodesia and South Africa.

 

Dr. Peter, thanks for connecting! Hope you're doing well. I am busy with a counselling course in which your book, Discipleship Handbook, is one of the prescribed books and have been suggested to me.
