Seven Keys to Intentional Discipleship
By Shawn D. Anderson (Wipf & Stock, 2010)

“Relationships must be developed out of genuine motives. Our ultimate goal is leading people to Jesus, but we need to look for needs and develop relationships with people because they are fellow children of God. Some people may never want to be found.

A relationship with another person should never be contingent upon her eventual acceptance of Jesus. … Our mandate is to spread the love of God with everyone—whether or not it leads to a conversion.” –Shawn D. Anderson, from the book
