Down-To-Earth Discipling by Scott Morton
At last, a discipling guide anybody can use. When somebody uses the d word, do you mentally shudder and draw back? Talking about discipling others can do that to Christians. We're happily involved in church and Bible studies, but it's unnerving to share Christ with people or mentor new believers. We'd rather leave that to the gung-ho types. At last, here's a personal ministry book that anybody can use. It's a practical, friendly, workable guide to everything you need to know about discipling without terrifying you or those you want to reach. You could think of it as a discipleship for dummies book. It breaks out discipling into simple, manageable steps, based firmly on biblical principles about reaching your world for Christ. God can use anybody with a willing heart, says author Scott Morton, who describes himself as not gifted in discipling and admits making lots of mistakes. Forged through experience, his realistic approach will inspire you to develop enduring relationships-the kind that touch people's deep needs and make a one-to-one difference. So don't be reluctant, scared, or worried about discipling. Just be a down-to-earth discipler. It works.

Scott and Alma met the Lord in The Navigators ministry at Iowa State. They have been married since 1964 and have two married daughters, one married son and four grandchildren.
The Mortons enjoy baseball (Scott was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins), bird-watching, antiquing and helping people grow in their spiritual journeys through small group Bible studies and one-on-one mentoring. Scott also enjoys writing, having published Funding Your Ministry (Whether You're Gifted or Not), a book to help missionaries raise financial support, Down to Earth Discipling, a realistic approach to sharing one's faith with others and Tired of Do-List Christianity? which helps debunk the misconceptions that hold back spiritual growth and steal our joy.
