Not Many Fathers (eBook)

Not Many Fathers: Recovering the Lost Art of Biblical Discipleship by Eric T. Williams

"For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers." (1 Corinthians 4:15)

The Church has never had more information. It has never had fewer fathers. We fill seats, run programs, and multiply classes, yet sons and daughters still sit in our pews without anyone who knows their name, sees their potential, and walks with them until Christ is formed in them.

Apart from Christ, we are all fatherless. Discipleship brings sons and daughters home to the Father.

Across twenty-one chapters, Eric T. Williams traces discipleship from the Father's heart in Eden, through the way Jesus made disciples by being with them, to Paul's "my own son in the faith." Woven with his own story of fatherlessness, of a mentor who called a broken boy "young king," and of the Holocaust survivors who raised him in the Scriptures, this book calls every believer to stop producing hearers and start raising sons and daughters.

Inside you'll discover:

• Why Jesus is the Christ, and Christ is also our culture

• How the Spirit-led life is strengthened and confirmed through discipleship

• How to father the son who cannot receive love

• The role of spiritual mothers in Israel and in the Church

• How to disciple those who have been wounded by fathers

• Practical principles and practices in every chapter, plus a 12-week discipleship guide
