Ralph is the founder of the Hope Chapel Movement, which, like Calvary Chapels and the Vineyard churches, came out of the Jesus Movement in Southern California in the early 1970s. Ralph\u2019s impact has been unprecedented in the last 50+ years of North American church history. He planted disciple making churches that planted other disciple making churches so that today\u00a02,600+ churches\u00a0have been planted from the disciple making churches he planted. Many are overseas, now touching every continent.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Making Disciples<\/em>, Ralph walks through the simple steps behind this multiplying movement. This book will help you explore important questions such as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Is every Christian called to be a disciple maker?<\/li>\n<li>What makes disciple making different from just another program?<\/li>\n<li>Whom should I disciple?<\/li>\n<li>Who should disciple me?<\/li>\n<li>What problems will I encounter along the way?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>\u201cRalph helps us rediscover the simple principles and practices that produce disciples who make disciples, who plant churches that plant churches.
