Have you ever been told to go and win souls for Christ through street evangelism or any other setting and you just sense you are not cut out for this? When you eventually manage to convince someone to accept Jesus as savior, you begin to realize you are clueless as to where to begin in the discipleship journey. If that is your situation, you are not alone. As a Christian of over thirty (30) years, listening to sermons from different pulpits from around the world, over media networks and at our local churches, I am amazed at the lack of or non-existence of practical teaching on how to actually go out and make disciples of all nations as Jesus Christ instructed us during His last command to the disciples, until the last thirteen years that this insight came to me in my visible encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ on 22nd, of April 2006. You will find the story on the encounter in the introductory part of Clueless - Go Make Disciples. Even then, I am still fine-tuning my understanding. I know and I am aware that there are countless Christians, who love the Lord dearly and are involved in relentless church activities week in and week out that have no clue as to how to really go out and make disciples of all nations. Some of our church pews are filled with recycled converts that do not know their left from their right concerning disciple making after years of conversion. Some of our churches have become like the dead sea where we keep taking in messages and not being equipped to let out the treasure within. This book, Clueless - Go and make disciples was written for you to equip you, as a practical "how to" book for the great commission work using Discovery Bible Study and the best of Disciple Making movement, Training the trainer (T4T) and other disciple making processes all in one place.

It was once said that all a person has to do to realize God has a very good sense of humor is to look at a platypus. The same sentiment applies to the Bible. The Bible often seems like foreign territory, not only for students encountering it in introductory classes, but also for those who have spent many years in church. To many people, it is an intimidating collection of rules, lists, and theological arguments. But in reality, most of the Bible is made up of fascinating stories. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're weird, sometimes they're inspiring, but they're never dull. This college-level introduction invites students into biblical studies through creative, humorous retellings (and a few cartoons here and there) of the basic biblical narratives. The best way to get into the Bible, says Robert F. Darden, is to get to know its stories. In this new approach to introducing the Bible to students, Darden covers the major biblical stories and characters, retelling them in such a way as to bring out their original humor and pathos, and inviting the student to encounter them more fully by moving into the text itself.

Darden runs the project at Baylor University where he is a journalism professor. The purpose of the project is to identify, acquire, preserve, record, and catalogue the most at-risk music from the black gospel music tradition, primarily between 1945 and 1970.

Paul McMonagle was a student at Auburn in the spring of 2000 when about two weeks before finals, he suffered an excruciating headache while watching a movie with his girlfriend. He stood up, threw up from the pressure, and passed out. For the next two years, he only remembers snapshots of his life. Paramedics from the local hospital in Opelika, Alabama, transported him to East Alabama Medical Center after determining he had suffered a traumatic brain injury from a rupture of a genetic anomaly called an arteriovenous malformation or AVM. In this book, he shares his inspiring story of what he’s learned living with such a brain injury. Over the years, he’s found at overcoming such a condition is impossible without God. To follow Jesus means to be willing to lay down everything to pick up the cross. Within this narrative, you’ll find threads of grace, mercy, and encouragement to overcome anything—all while moving closer to the Lord.
