As Christians look for books and devotionals that inspire and instruct them in their walk with Jesus Christ, the best way to do this is with a discipleship study.  But with so many discipleship books available, how do you know which one is best?  A great way to find out more about these books is to read the Discipleship Inside Out section at NavPress.com. NavPress is the publishing arm of the Colorado Springs ministry organizations known as The Navigators.  Also the publisher of many best-selling Christian books, many people remember them for the Discipleship Journal.

In case you’ve never heard of the Discipleship Journal (DJ), it is a well-known resource for all Christians, and highly regarded by ministry leaders.  DJ has been used as a discipleship study for decades, and many pastors have held onto dog-eared copies of this periodical for just as long.  As a result, NavPress is now selling a special hardbound sleeve that can store DJ archives on your bookshelf.  But for those who prefer a searchable digital format over paper, NavPress has recently released a CD-ROM archive that covers the first 25 years of Discipleship Journal.

Today’s ministry leaders are always seeking ways to incorporate a discipleship study into their daily Bible readings, but they are also looking for a flexible way to search through the DJ archives for insight on a particular topic.

Another way to buy the DJ discipleship study is in a CD-ROM format.  In this digital anthology of the popular DJ magazine, Christians will have access to the 25 year archives of the Discipleship Journal. Each issue is themed on a different top, such as trusting God or ministering to the community, and each article is written from the perspective of a fellow pilgrim who is sharing his or her wisdom with others.

The Discipleship Journal Anthology includes a rich library of articles and is one of the best resources for fostering an effective ministry through personal spiritual growth. In a recent article published on Daily Christian Advice, “Discipleship Journal Archives Are the Ideal Discipleship Study,” the author talks about how this collection of articles is searchable by keyword, topic, author title and verse.  Sidebars are available that tie back to the original articles or direct users to related themed sections.

For the best discipleship study resources for small group leaders and teachers, the Discipleship Journal offers a comprehensive collection of insightful commentaries.
