3DM (http://weare3dm.com/)
This approach is championed by Bill Hull. Bill’s passion is to help the church return to
its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-
given desire has manifested itself in 20 of pastoring and the authorship of many books.
Two of his more important books, Jesus Christ Disciple Maker, and The Disciple Making
Pastor, have both celebrated 20 years in print. Add his third in the popular trilogy, The
Disciple Making Church , and you have a new paradigm for disciple making. The book
to read first is The Complete Book of Discipleship, 2006.
