The Drama of Discipleship
How do Christ’s followers reach across the dividing lines of our culture to offer hospitality and hope? How do local congregations worship God faithfully on Sunday and bear witness to their neighbors with fitting words and deeds during the week?
Christ has called his people to follow the ways of his kingdom in their homes, workplaces, schools, churches, and neighborhoods. The Drama of Discipleship is a resource for being and making disciples of Jesus in the everyday tasks of being human.
Each episode offers at least one group activity that is designed to catalyze group action on your local stage and build your congregation's practice of taking off the old ways of being human and putting on the true image of God—Christ. The Drama concludes with additional tools for those who lead small groups in the heartwork of discipleship, as well as a neighborhood survey for those who lead congregations in the fieldwork of discipling the nations.

I have been looking forward to this book for nearly a decade and it was worth the wait! The most practical guide to whole-life discipleship I have seen in print. I look forward to using it with my congregation soon!

Perry does a superb job of laying out a discipleship plan for a local church or mission team. Using the extended illustration of the production of a play (drama), Perry explores both the theological reasons for the group to apply the gospel to all aspects of life as well as practical help to do so.
Discipleship is not mechanical nor a solo endeavor nor an intellectual exercise; and this book addresses these false, but well-known, models of "creating" followers of Jesus by offering a gospel-centered holistic model.
Highly recommended!

Too much humanism.

I will not rate the book since I am it’s author. However, I do want to document how enriching it has been to go through the book and it’s group activities with other students of Jesus and his ways.
