Planted: A Guide for New Disciples
Every believer is called to be a disciple of Christ. But what does that mean? How do we grow in our faith, strengthen our walk with God, and live a life that bears fruit for His glory?
Planted takes you on a journey through the essential elements of discipleship, using the imagery presented in Psalm 1:3— The blessed man is “like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Grounded in Scripture, Planted helps new and seasoned believers alike understand their faith, live it out, and experience the joy of walking with Jesus Christ. Whether you're seeking to establish a firm foundation or deepen your commitment, this book will equip you to be a "disciple indeed"—firmly rooted, growing strong, and bearing fruit that remains.
