Make, Mature, Multiply: Becoming Fully-Formed Disciples of Jesus
Brandon Smith
Discipleship is a word most Christians know, but few can define. Is discipleship about reading the Bible or praying every day? Is it about sharing the gospel with strangers? Is it about striving to be like Jesus? While these are aspects of being a disciple, Scripture tells us that there is much more.
Make, Mature, Multiply aims to help you become a disciple who truly understands the full joy of following Jesus. With a wide range of chapters from some of today's most battle-tested disciple-makers, this book is designed for any Christian seeking to know more about being a fully-formed disciple of Jesus who makes, matures, and multiplies fully-formed disciples of Jesus.

They Spoke of Me: How Jesus Unlocks the Old Testament
Brandon Smith and Everett Berry
For many, the Bible is a book of life tips, inspiring words, and lofty tales. For others, the Bible is a book that's boring, outdated, and difficult to understand. But both of these views miss the heart of God's Word.In They Spoke of Me, Brandon Smith and Everett Berry show us that the Bible is actually one beautiful story centered on the life and work of Jesus Christ. When Jesus said to his disciples, "The Scriptures spoke of me," he was telling them that he is the key to understanding God's story of redemption, all the way back through the Old Testament. Explaining how nine key Old Testament stories point to Jesus, Smith and Berry help readers get a glimpse of what Jesus meant. In turn, readers will better understand the powerful message of the gospel that is found on every page of the Bible.
