(Well, the books are free, anyway… the discipleship itself… well, I’ll defer to Dietrich Bonhoeffer on that one….)

So it’s done: All six books in the From Disciples to Disciplers series—including the first three, Growing in Jesus, Growing in Character, and Growing in Your Gifts (scroll down for more info on each)—are now available on for free on NoiseTrade. Everything you need to know can be found here. (And hey, go snag yourself the new Josh Garrels album in the Music section of the site while you’re in there anyway—also out today—and thank me later.)

So maybe this isn’t the most lucrative alternative for yours truly. But the fact is, because of this option, the latter three books in the series (Growing Others, Growing in Leadership, and Growing in Your Mission), and the latest one Lay It Down, have already been read (or at least downloaded) in 70+ countries since I’ve put them up. That’s pretty cool, when you think about it.

And really, that’s the bigger point; I’d rather have these books in peoples’ hands, and hopefully be of some use to someone. That’s why they were created, after all. (That said, tips are appreciated.)

So there you have it. To paraphrase Popeye: I’ve done all I can do, and I can’ts do no more. Now, it’s your turn. Go fetch. 🙂

And with that, we’ll start back into Laying It Down tomorrow….
