It's engaging, funny, helpful, and inviting—like a pumpkin-spice latté on a crisp fall day. It's also everything a first-time discipler needs—real-life stories, relational tools, down-to-earth conversation starters, and scriptural truth—plus an experienced coffee-date discipler to walk you through the process!”

“In an age when Google will find you the recipe, Alexa will order the ingredients, and YouTube will show you how to make the pie, there remains a vital human role in Christian discipleship that cannot be outsourced or digitized.

Kim Aldrich shows us that effective disciple-making can be as natural as chatting with a friend over coffee."

"I worked in coffee shops for seven years and have been in the ministry of making disciples for twenty. So I’ve made a lot of coffee and disciples.

I highly recommend it to any woman who loves Jesus and wants to make disciples.”
