Discipleship is a responsibility of every believer, yet many of us avoid doing it because we don’t know where to start. The Gentle Art of Discipling Women provides a framework for discipleship from the mentoring voice of a seasoned discipler. Dana Yeakley walks with you through the foundational principles of who you are in Christ and how you are uniquely equipped to pass along what He has taught you.
The book is divided into two parts:
Be a Disciple: Four foundational truths (We Are Becoming; We Are Forgiven; We Have Access; We Are Safe) strengthen our confidence so that we can pass along our faith.
Make a Disciple: Four questions (How Do We Create the Right Atmosphere? Who Do We Help? What Do We Share? How Does Discipling One-on-One Actually Work?) help us nurture a discipleship relationship.
The Gentle Art of Discipling Women will help each woman discover her unique gifting in discipleship through her relationship with God, her personality, and her story. Amazon

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book. These are my honest thoughts.
This was such a timely book for me. God used it to confirm a few things currently going on in my life. Overall, it was a nice read with informative tips, an encouraging spirit, and an instructional tone. It wasn't as deep as I thought it would be, but other readers might find it to be the exact depth they need. It will likely be a great resource for many people as they proceed into mentoring relationships.
One or two of the named examples spoke of the women's negative qualities. To me, this was disconcerting and felt like it broke the confidentiality of the mentor relationship. This was really the only drawback to this book for me.
I love the author's heart for ministering to women and teaching them to crave Jesus and pursue His direction for their lives. Such a beautiful example of Christ's love! This shone so brightly through the entire book, it's almost like it was literally stamped upon each page.
This book is a great resource for those looking to dig deeper into the Word of God and for those who wish to become spiritual mentors.
