Gladhearted Disciples takes a radically different and welcome approach to evangelism and discipleship. It is a winsome and accessible bookwith two audaciously important messages. First, Christian discipleshipis grounded in grace, characterized by humility, upwardly focused ingratitude, and outwardly-turned in compassion. Second, Christiancommunities should be marked by the same. Every church would do well toheed this prophetic yet hopeful message.  --Robert K. Martin, Dean andProfessor of Christian Formation and Leadership, Wesley TheologicalSeminary

The Wesley Covenant Prayer has been used in Methodist services around the world on the first Sunday of the year since John Wesley introduced it in 1755. Wesley expected that people would pray this prayer as a way of remembering, renewing, and surrendering themselves in complete trust to God. When we pray it, we are to remember what living like Jesus looks like and what loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind and loving our neighbor as ourselves requires of us.In The Wesley Prayer Challenge, author Chris Folmsbee invites readers to consider words from the Wesley Covenant Prayer each day for three weeks while reflecting on their meaning in the context of the larger piece.Each day’s reading will include scripture, prayer, and a challenge for daily life.Additional components for a three-week study include a comprehensive leader guide and a DVD featuring author Chris Folmsbee.
