Training of the Twelve

An examination of how Jesus trained his twelve disciples for their future role as apostles of the early church.

With many ministers and religious organizations already using modern techniques found in management books, why not go straight to the source? A. B. Bruce’s 1877 work The Training of the Twelve shows the methods Jesus used to lead his disciples and teach them to spread His Word. Though written more than a century ago (and based on Gospels two thousand years old), the ideas in this volume apply as surely today as they did in 1877, and church leaders (or those aspiring to be church leaders) will find this an invaluable resource.
