If we're honest, many of us have fears, hesitations, and roadblocks to discipling others. In Discipleship as Holy Collaboration, Yolanda Solomon, director of discipleship at Epiphany Church in Brooklyn, New York, provides a practical guide to becoming disciples of Jesus who then go on to disciple others.

Advance Praise
"It's no secret that there is a dearth of discipleship resources written by Black women, which makes this book critically important. . . . Yolanda demystifies discipleship through her exegesis of Scripture and culture, which empowers the reader to disciple others or to seek out someone to disciple them."
-Ekemini Uwan, public theologian and coauthor of Truth's Table: Black Women's Musings on Life, Love, and Liberation, from the foreword
"Yolanda Solomon has been a beacon of light and wisdom for years. Her godly insight and reflections are collected here to help us all continue our own transformative journey with Jesus and others."
-Lecrae, recording artist and author of I Am Restored: How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith
"As a pastor, I've witnessed firsthand Yolanda Solomon's profound impact as our church's director of discipleship, where she not only teaches with faithfulness to the Word of God but also truly embodies biblical principles. This book seamlessly combines practical advice, rich personal experiences, and robust theological insights, reflecting her years of dedication to discipleship. It's more than just a guide; it's a testament to her deep expertise and passionate commitment to seeing spiritual growth within the body of Christ. This is an indispensable read for anyone looking to enrich their discipleship journey."
-Brandon Watts, pastor of Epiphany Church Brooklyn, New York
"Yolanda Solomon disrupts the individualism that has marked discipleship for far too long and restores the communal nature that is embedded in true discipleship—one where we are invited to co-labor with God in God's work in the world. This is a must-read for all who are serious about pursuing Christ in authentic ways in today's world!"
-Janice McLean-Farrell, Dirck Romeyn Associate Professor of Metro-Urban Ministry at New Brunswick Theological Seminary
"Yolanda Solomon is a chef who has served us a recipe for discipleship that includes all the ingredients of a great meal. In this unique work, she infuses her sage wisdom with biblical exposition and a life well marinated in campus ministry, church leadership, and real-world experiences. Yolanda plates her theologically rich and practical discipleship principles with a delightful blend of relatable stories and culturally relevant anecdotes that offers up a deep dish of fresh and satisfying insights that help us to think deeply and apply broadly what it means to collaborate as sous-chefs with the Master Chef who calls us to 'feed my sheep.'"
-Rasool Berry, teaching pastor at the Bridge Church in Brooklyn, New York

Her vulnerable anecdotes and deep mining of the Scriptures work together to equip the reader to take heart in the Holy Spirit's profound work in raising a saint and take seriously each disciple's mandate to make disciples. This timely book serves as a unique resource for both individuals and small groups."
