A Disciple Maker is a personal story that invites all to love youth just as they are. John Hardison lives a plain and ordinary life as a veterinarian in Southern California, yet he reaches hundreds and touches thousand with the love of Jesus.
This is his advantage. He has no theology training, no church title, yet he is a "father to the fatherless", doing for decades. His act of love to countless children and youth brought him a group of young ethnic guys who proclaimed themselves "Docs Boys to Jesus Men". That simple title describes the transformation of many of them to be successful in profession and family matters.
Doc Hardison loves them just as they are. He loves teens who have depression, considered suicide, had same-gender attraction, possessed criminal records, came from broken families, lived in poverty, and the list goes on. This book contains his story but, just as important, their story.
He invited "Docs Boys" from around the world to write their account of the power of acceptance and love. They get to tell their side of what it looks like to be mentored and fathered in the Kingdom of God. Not all the young people Doc cares for have rosy, picture-perfect stories but they know who to call if they need help. He remains in touch with many and even as their families grow he remains a blessing across generations.
John encourages everyone to take the time to buy a hamburger and talk to young people with the Truth of God's Word, sharing the love of Jesus, doing so in the power of the Holy Spirit.
