A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR

Dear Student or Teacher,

I wrote this course to provide comprehensive, basic teaching for those who desire to become disciples and those who wish to make disciples. I have taught this course many times in the USA ... and in Poland and Russia. It was well received in all locations. I rewrote it into its present form ... in what might be called International English to be understandable for those who know English as their first, second, or third language.

Many people have studied this course and have benefited greatly. Students who have become teachers have gained an extra blessing from learning it more thoroughly. I encourage you to teach this course for your own benefit ... and for the benefit of your student or students. Many Christians do not have enough knowledge to make the transition from believer to disciple. They lead frustrated Christian lives ... being less than God desires. You can help by teaching this course to them.

"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers.” James 1:22. Apply what you have learned. Multiply it to faithful men and women who will be able to teach others also. Live it and give it. Pray that God will give you an opportunity to teach it. The easiest place to start may be with one or two friends. Jesus' words can be paraphrased as, Teach others to be disciples of Me ... baptize them ... teach them to obey My commandments ... and I am with you always, Matthew 28:18-20. Teaching this course can be part of your obedience to the Great Commission. He will be with you as you teach it.

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:58

Yours in His service,

John D. Morris III
