**It is hard to deny that today's world can seem downright hostile toward Christians.** Some may look down at their iPhones when we mention God, motion for the check when we bring up church, or casually change the subject when we talk about prayer. In a world full of people whose indifference is greater than their desire to know Christ, how can we dream of growing the church?
In *Contagious Disciple Making*, David Watson and Paul Watson map out a simple method that has sparked an explosion of homegrown churches in the United States and around the world. A companion to Cityteam's two previous books, *Miraculous Movements* and *The Father Glorified*, *Contagious Disciple Making* details the method used by Cityteam disciple-makers. This distinctive process focuses on equipping spiritual leaders in communities where churches are planted. Unlike many evangelism and church-growth products that focus on quick results, contagious disciple-making takes time to cultivate spiritual leadership, resulting in lasting disciple-making movements. Through *Contagious Disciple Making* readers will come to understand that a strong and equipped leader will continue to grow the church long after church planters move on to the next church.
Features include:
* Glossary of terms * Engagement tools for use in the field * Practical techniques to equip others to make disciples

The choice of a book is a very personal decision and I'm suspicious of any book that seems to be riding a wave of publicity. Nevertheless this is a book that deserves to be read by every Christian. Written by father and son in 2014, the Watsons succinctly analyse what is wrong in western Christianity and how to put things back into order. The secret of discipleship is the character of the disciple maker. A disciple is a believer who obeys Jesus, all the time. The authors do an excellent job connecting the dots between Old & New Testament. The bible is one book, not two separate books. Strongly recommended for everyone.
