Synopsis

God wired your brain for transformation.

Jesus told his followers, “Go and make disciples of every nation,” but a lot of us stop before we start―because we feel like we don’t have what it takes. But Jesus didn’t ask spiritual superstars to make disciples. He invited ordinary people into the adventure of following Him.

Jessie Cruickshank learned how to be a disciplemaker in the wilderness. When she connected her training in outdoor adventure ministry with her Harvard degree in neuroeducation, God showed her a pathway for ordinary disciples of Jesus to experience profound spiritual growth. You can help someone choose to go somewhere they have never gone before and to be brave enough to choose to change. You can model a new way of living. And you can share your own hard-fought wisdom on the journey of faith. Jessie Cruickshank will help you navigate the terrain, be inspired by the vast sky, and move toward the hope to which you are called. With Joseph Campbell’s iconic hero’s journey framework as a guide, you’ll discover how a spirit of adventure, brain science, and passionate faith can equip you for the greatest adventure of all.

Goodreads review by Tim

Discipleship has never been optional. Unfortunately, since so many don’t understand its importance and/or methods, disciplemaking is too seldom engaged. As a local church pastor and a college professor I am thankful for the ways Jessie brings clarity to this topic. Where other books on discipleship......more
