āJerry Wilesā book should inspire you to live a more godly life, be a faithful witness, introduce people to Christ, and equip others to do likewise. The many impactful stories and lessons are examples of how God can use ordinary followers of Jesus to become reproducing disciple makers.

āI was greatly inspired as I read my friend Jerry Wilesā new book āSimple, Relational Disciple-Makingā. The practical wisdom he shares is drenched in Scripture, built upon a lifetime of ministry, and applicable to anyone who loves Jesus and wants their life to make a difference. May God use this to help many experience the abundant life Jesus intended for us, and to raise up many more disciple-makers.ā
