Over time, however, many churches have lost sight of what catechesis is and how to practice it effectively. As a result, believers today often lack the theological, spiritual, and moral foundations needed to remain firmly grounded in Christ in the midst of personal and cultural struggles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To meet this need, theologian Alex Fogleman has written \u003ci\u003eMaking Disciples\u003c\/i\u003e--an introduction to catechesis that is engaging, informative, and pastoral. Fogleman explains that catechesis focuses less on current fashions and hot topics and more on the basic building blocks of thinking, praying, and living as a Christian. It is distinct from evangelism in that it goes beyond the proclamation of the gospel; it is distinct from preaching in that it prioritizes basic understanding of Christian belief and practice. Put simply, catechesis is a process of forming lifelong followers of Christ. \u003ci\u003eMaking Disciples\u003c\/i\u003e provides rich insights and practical resources for incorporating catechesis into the life of the church today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Fogleman \u003c\/b\u003eis assistant professor of theology at Trinity Anglican Seminary and director of the Robert E.
