Throwback Thursday to what was said my Best Post

 

Been fatigued with ministry, so this is a late-in-the-day post.  This week also happen to be the 20 year anniversary of when I graduated Marine Corps boot camp, earning the title of Marine.  It was a time of introspection and some of the guys I served with on social media have been commenting about how we are getting older, that our body is not the same, that there’s wear and tear from service and just growing older.  One of the guys that commented have also been through a lot of injuries while serving.  I was thinking about how some of the guys I served with have changed (coming to Christ, being a better person, etc) while some still remain the crazy wild individuals that haven’t changed much.  Sometimes in my memory I picture myself in uniform the way my face looks like now and when I saw my Marine graduation pictures I realized all the guys look so young, like kids.  And I realize it was a long time ago and I’ve also changed.

Review: Contagious Disciple Making

David Watson and Paul Watson. Contagious Disciple Making: Leading Others on a Journey of Discovery.  Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishing Company, December 1, 2014.  256 pp.

4 out of 5

Purchase: Amazon

What would be a worthwhile book to read concerning discipleship, mentoring and ministry and missions in a cross-cultural context?  While I don’t agree with everything in this book I think this book is worthwhile to read for food for thought and the parts I think that are good are very helpful.  The co-authors are father and son who have done missions overseas in Asia and are also consultants for ministry in other areas including the West and Africa.
