Discipleship Matters: Learning from Timothy’s Spiritual Journey

Seventeen-year-old Timothy has accepted Christ, but he struggles with the pain of an absent father and lacks spiritual maturity. When the apostle Paul invites Timothy to join him on a missionary journey, Timothy thinks he’s receiving a chance to see the world and to escape his personal struggles. But the long road ahead quickly becomes more than a means to adventure. Under Paul’s careful teaching-presented here in story form though often pulled straight out of the pages of Scripture-Timothy learns more about the Christian life, about sharing his faith, and about the remarkable love and blessings of his Heavenly Father. Dr. Mitch Martin weaves a fictionalized account of Timothy’s interactions with Paul that invites readers to both grow as Christ’s disciples and to recognize that each Christian is called to live as a disciple-maker.
