David has a passion for a generation who have walked away from the institutional church. He has asked the questions and is now reminding the local church of the simple call back to discipleship as the missing aspect in the church today. Dave speaks not only with authority and passion on the subject of discipleship but also with humility. In this book, David displays his heart for people and gives us practical steps to jump start the church back to a discipleship lifestyle. You will be challenged!

Gerry Michalski, Lead Pastor of Soul Sanctuary

David is painfully hitting the spiritual nail on the head. The tedious and time-consuming journey of discipleship has been reduced to packages and programs. But, there is hope. People, like David, are willing to commit themselves to this most rewarding and God-glorifying discipleship journey, which is the execution of the missionary mandate in its purest and most effective form.

I started reading this book and was immediately hooked! The Disciple doesn't mess around, it is clear and concise offering that the simplicity of the core message of Jesus. It's time to "wipe the slate clean" and help renew a passion of young Christ-followers to the central mission of the church. This is a great resource for everyone; pastor, parent, teacher or student... each of us needs to start with ourselves before we can properly disciple others.

In my travels, I am discovering a generation of young people who don’t want to just hear about Jesus, they want to live Him out in their day to day lives. The church does not need a “walk away” generation; it needs a “reinvention” of true discipleship. David Sawler removes the clutter and gets us back to the biblical heartbeat of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.

One of the most pressing issues to be addressed by the Church in North America is that of making disciples of Christ--not just converts but fully formed followers of Jesus. Too many negative influences are making the status quo unsustainable today. Dave Sawler has keen insight on how to make the shifts necessary for newfound effectiveness for leaders who are committed to obeying the command to "make disciples."

In The Disciple author David Sawler tackles some of the most basic yet misunderstood fundamentals of the faith - he does it in his usual raw, candid style; his transparency is disarming and challenging. It's easy to read and enjoyable but it will mess with your head - right to the core of who you are and how you respond to the clarion call of the teachings of Jesus. It's truly life-changing.

"With all the deconstruction in books today it is great to read a book that builds some structure of what we can practically do in our faith journey to help disciple the generations below us"

Brett Ullman

David is a voice within our nation that is calling the church to refocus on its pre-Constantine days when the church was growing because they discipled their people. When you read this you are forced to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you are truly willing to become more like Jesus. He is quick to point out that this is not new program, but rather, a way of rethinking and viewing the role of oneself as a follower of Christ and how we truly can impact the Nation. I truly believe what David writes here is the hope for Western Church through the generations to come.

In his follow up book to, ‘Goodbye Generation’, David Sawler tackles what he believes is the key to long term growth and retention for the Church today. Through the life of Jesus, we learn of several foundation principles that are needed to close the backdoor of our churches and ministries.

Jesus calls us to follow Him. This is more than just watching where He goes. It is a call to live like Him, do what He did, and become like Him. ‘The Disciple’ will challenge you to consider what following Jesus looks like. It is a journey of realizing Jesus did not just leave us with the Great Commission. He, in fact, showed us what living it out looked like. It will challenge every leader, parent, and person as to what the cost of discipleship is.

This book is not about a program or new ideas on discipleship. It is a discussion on the foundations each of us must grasp in order to truly live like Jesus, both in character and deed. Enjoy. Be prepared to be challenged, for change, and for long term growth.
