The Training of the Twelve

Front Cover
Cosimo, Inc., Jun 1, 2007 - Religion - 572 pages

With many ministers and religious organizations already using modern techniques found in management books, why not go straight to the source? A. B. Bruce's 1877 work The Training of the Twelve shows the methods Jesus used to lead his disciples and teach them to spread His Word. Though written more than a century ago (and based on Gospels two thousand years old), the ideas in this volume apply as surely today as they did in 1877, and church leaders (or those aspiring to be church leaders) will find this an invaluable resource. Learn... - how Jesus chose and trained his disciples - how and what he taught them about evangelism and prayer - the nature of true holiness - humility and self-sacrifice - and much more.
