This guide was formulated originally for Wuffingas Historical Reenactment Club, to ensure a fair, balanced approach, that provides fun and safety for historical steel fighting, and other arts and sciences within the reenactment genre. We publish it here to give all aspiring reenactment groups in the US and abroad a base from which to operate like minded Living History, LARP, and other independent groups and clubs.

Christ commanded the church to make disciples, to produce people who love and obey God, bear fruit, and live with joy. The crisis at the heart of the church is that we often pay lip service to making disciples, but we seldom put much effort behind doing it. For the pastor who is ready to put words into action, The Disciple-Making Pastor offers the inspiration and practical know-how to do so. Bill Hull shows pastors the obstacles they will face, what disciples really look like, the pastor's role in producing them, and the practices that lead to positive change. He also offers a six-step coaching process to help new disciples grow in commitment and obedience and practical ideas to integrate disciple making into the fabric of the church.

Americans are fascinated with stories that showcase the strength and resilience of the human spirit. We love to learn about people who overcome adversity and triumph over seemingly insurmountable challenges. We love to witness the answer to the question, "How could a person possibly deal with that?" We are especially touched when the people involved in these stories are "regular, everyday" people—perhaps because it implies that we, too, could survive if we found ourselves in a similar situation. Firmly in His Hands is that kind of story. In January, 1998, my wife, Dink was diagnosed with a degenerative, terminal disease. We knew immediately that, short of divine intervention, she would only survive a few years and in the end she would require full-time, complete care. But Firmly in His Hands is not about her disease and death. It's about our life. It describes how a couple of ordinary people confronted an extraordinary situation and the approach we followed as we continued our day-to-day lives while the disease progressed. It demonstrates our discovery of that empowering strength and resilience of the human spirit and it presents valuable insights for others who face challenges that seem larger than life.
