Teach Them To Obey - Studies for Disciples

Beschreibung

Fourteen thought-provoking studies based upon a unique and comprehensive analysis of all the commands of Jesus, grouped and summarised into a simple-to-remember form of three high and nine lower-level themes. The studies address each of the twelve themes set out in the Teach Them To Obey - All That I Have Commanded You book (ISBN13: 978-1-9164405-0-0) with two additional studies. The first study recognises the 'Essential Need for the Holy Spirit in our Lives' rather than 'obeying' Jesus in our own strength. Studies 2 to 4 centre around the Kingdom Fundamental to 'Love God' and two supporting Kingdom Practices. Studies 5 to 9 concentrate on the Kingdom Fundamental to 'Follow Jesus' and four related Kingdom Practices about our personal attitudes, actions and behaviours. Studies 10 to 13 examine the Kingdom Fundamental to 'Love Your Neighbour As Yourself' and three Kingdom Practices that explain how to do this. Lastly Study 14 looks at the 'Outcomes from Putting Jesus's Command into Practice'. Each study: Throughout the book, diagrams are included that help to build and demonstrate the simple structure that is the focus of this material. Further reading on discipleship, advice and notes for Study Group leaders, and the full biblical analysis underpinning the work are also included in appendices. These studies are for followers of Jesus who wish to become (and teach others to be) more intentional disciples and live biblically & practically in a chaotic 21st century world.

Duncan had a long-term career in technical and then management consultancy rising to the most senior consulting rank of Director within a leading UK Consulting firm. For more than 20 years he focused on the analysis and structuring of data to draw out meaningful information and insights. He then structured this to deliver clear, value adding, easy to understand client reports, articles, and conference papers. Duncan has applied this capability to create this unique perspective on all the commands of Jesus in these books - targeted at helping readers to become more intentional disciples by understanding and then putting into practice the key messages from Jesus's teaching. Duncan also gained extensive experience of project specification, procurement, and management in the transport and information technology sectors and worked for British and foreign Government Departments and international institutions. He became a respected transport sector thought leader with over 18 years in that field. His career began with an Aircraft Engineering Apprenticeship after which he obtained an MSc degree and, subsequently, a postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies (with Distinction).¿ He 'retired' early in 2014 and quickly became involved as a volunteer Area Representative with an International Missions organisation where he is currently part of the London team. Duncan has been married since 1985 and both his father and grandfather were Christian ministers. They have one son and daughter-in-law (and two young grandsons) who are in ministry with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in the UK. Duncan became a follower of Jesus in 1987 and has been an Elder in one fellowship and is currently a Deacon in his home Baptist church where he has oversight of Safeguarding and leads the World-Wide Missions Team. Outside these responsibilities, he enjoys time with family, keeping fit, cooking, gardening, photography and travel - primarily to see wildlife.
