The Gentle Art of Discipling Women {Book Review}

When it comes to sharing your faith with other people, do you find it easy? What about when it comes to the idea of making a disciple? I know it can be scary for me! But I also believe we are called to do it, and the book, The Gentle Art of Discipling Women, is a great guide to get started.

Does Jesus’ call to “go and make disciples” seem a little intimidating?

You’re not alone! Let seasoned discipler Dana Yeakley mentor you on this incredible journey of discipleship. Dana knows that discipling women can be overwhelming―but she’s seen how our amazing God works and knows that He has uniquely designed you to disciple other women.

In this practical and encouraging guide, you will learn how to:

• Reflect on four scriptural realities that will ground you as God’s disciple so you can pass His truth on to others
• Create an inviting and safe space conducive to building authentic relationships
• Pack three essentials―the Word, prayer, and catching up on life―into each of your meetings
• Determine whom to disciple and how to find her
• Intentionally engage with someone who wants to be discipled
• Discern what to share as you open up to each other

Each chapter ends with a Bible study that challenges you as a disciple and also as a discipler. Packed with essential truths and encouragement, The Gentle Art of Discipling Women will prove to be a trusted resource that you will refer to for years to come.

I know how it feels to feel led, to want to do something, but have no idea how to get started. And that can be frustrating, especially for us determined women! So when we are told to be disciple makers, not just lead converts to the Lord, do you know where to start?

I like that the author, Dana Yeakley, offers a lot of suggestions on the whole process, from being confident in yourself to creating a meeting space and how to find another women to be discipled. Now, I think this is an intimate and emotional process, especially between women. You definitely open up about your church life, your past, and of course, you share the love of Jesus with this other person. It’s not to be taken lightly; but instead, you can learn how to be gentle in your approach and complete the process and hopefully have one more woman stepping forward to do the same as you did, thus creating a beautiful domino effect of making disciples.
