Review\n'This book in three words: exponential spiritual impact. Read and apply its message and it will impact your life, the lives of those you influence, and the many others whom they will, in turn, shape for Christ. Organic Disciples presents a biblical plan for changing yourself, your church, your community, and ultimately the world.' -- Mark Mittelberg, executive director, Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics; author, Contagious Faith\n'I have long relied on the brilliant evangelism leadership of Kevin and Sherry Harney, and I could not be more thrilled for their newest contribution about holistically connecting discipleship and evangelism in the church today. This work is long overdue, and there is nothing out there quite like it. A must-have for your ministry library.' -- Michelle T. Sanchez, executive minister, Make and Deepen Disciples, Evangelical Covenant Church\n'In a world with so much confusion about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, the Harneys not only shed light, they lay out biblical principles and practices that can lead us toward the life of fruitfulness we long for. So many have failed to see (and live into) the intimate connection between evangelism and discipleship. Organic Disciples fills this major void.' -- Kevin Palau, president, Luis Palau Association\n'Kevin and Sherry Harney are some of the most genuine, faithful, faith-filled, and effective church leaders I know. I've had the privilege of seeing their hearts and the impact of their ministry firsthand. When they speak, I listen. They are a deep well of lived truth and grace. Let's all grow into more effective organic disciples by diving into this important new book together.' -- Craig Springer, author, How to Follow Jesus and How to Revive Evangelism; executive director, Alpha USA\n'I love this book! It is one of the most inspiring and practically engaging books on discipleship that I have ever read. It is not about a formula or a system. Instead, it will stir your heart for more of Jesus and his love for people. The Harneys remind us that evangelism and discipleship never got a divorce. They are married and intended to work in union through the life of the believer and the church. The authors' braiding together of prayer, worship, and Spirit-led action will compel you as you are going about your day to go and make disciples.' -- Nancy Grisham, PhD, author, Thriving; former faculty member, Wheaton College\n'Kevin and Sherry Harney love the Lord Jesus Christ and think strategically as force multipliers. Organic Disciples is carefully designed to effectively force multiply for the Lord Jesus Christ.' -- Lieutenant General Eric P. Wendt (retired), United States Army, Special Forces*\n'For the longest time, it seems that many in the church have pitted discipleship and evangelism against one another. For many churches, it does seem more emphasis is placed on discipleship to the neglect of evangelism. However, as Kevin and Sherry Harney rightly point out, the more Christians become like Jesus, the more they will engage in Jesus' mission. My hope and prayer is that the global church will embrace the biblical vision laid out in this book.' -- Josh Laxton, PhD, codirector, Wheaton College Billy Graham Center; co-regional director, Lausanne Movement North America\n'Organic Disciples offers a simple way to help your church raise up and multiply disciples. The seven markers provide helpful, clear language to assess where you and your church are in your discipleship journey, as well as identify opportunities to teach and grow. I love that this book, in addition to being theologically rooted and based on research with hundreds of churches and ministries, creates the bridge between discipleship and evangelism that is often missed. This book invites you not only to deepen your discipleship journey but also to be a disciple whose heart breaks for the people around them.' -- Eliza Cortés Bast, pastor; Supervisor of Local Missional Engage
