Discipleship by Design

“We must decide where we want our ministry to count—in the momentary applause of popular recognition or in the reproduction of our lives in a few chosen people who will carry on our work after we have gone. Really it is a question of which generation we are living for.” 

– Robert E. Coleman

Dr. Harvey Herman is one of the founders of Chi Alpha, a ministry to which he has given over four decades of his life. He currently serves as the National Program Director of Chi Alpha, and originally wrote this manual to help answer the why and how of discipleship. This manual has helped advance the Kingdom of God over multiple decades, across multiple universities, and received several translations to reach multiple countries. Within the book, Dr. Herman uses the Bible to address discipleship principles, theological foundations of the discipleship process, and practices for actually building and leading a small group.
