The Proven Plan

Daniel and Kathy Bernard’s, The Proven Plan Book is a game changer in the quest for spiritual formation and maturity. This book solidifies and affirms the sufficiency of Jesus' finished work on the Cross, while giving keen insight on the proven plan of discipleship. Ultimately, readers are left with the simple reality of the necessity of being rooted in Christ... it is a must read! ––Kevin McGary – Every Black Life Matters

In "The Proven Plan," Daniel Bernard meticulously gives valuable information pertaining to discipleship that can be inserted into any Christian Churches training that is looking to develop or enhance a biblically based community for its congregation. The sharing of actual experiences gives much life to this masterpiece. –– Dr. Thomas L. Dozier Senior Pastor of Word of Grace and Truth Ministries, & President of Grace and Truth Christian University

The Proven Plan is an exceptionally powerful and insightful view of the need for the Church of the last days to rediscover its true biblical calling and mandate to fulfill the Great Commission to “Go and make disciples of all the nations.” Daniel’s inspiring testimony accompanies proven models to facing the launching of Spirit-led movements of disciples who make disciples. This book is a great addition to the growing awareness that it is time for the church to awaken to the greatness of its task. —Richard Greene, Founder The Keystone Project

In one of my books, “Leadership Awakening”, I shared the importance of being F.A.T. for the Lord. Faithful, Available, and Teachable. I realized that I was missing an “A” for ACCOUNTABLE.  Daniel is correct when he shares how we need to be F.A.A.T… Faithful, Available, Accountable and Teachable. I’ve learned that true authority and influence comes with the need for greater accountability. Our personal talents and gifting can only take us so far. It takes godly character and accountability to bring lasting change and influence. The Proven Plan is not just a theoretical treatise, but a life message born out of personal life experiences and life lessons, much of which was lived out through the crucibles of experience. As you read through this book, I trust you too will be deeply moved, as well as be provoked and challenged in your own walk and journey. —Doug Stringer, Founder & President Somebody Cares America / International

The Proven Plan is a helpful tool to understand Jesus’ call and command for his followers to identify, serve, equip and train people who are willing to surrender themselves to him. Daniel rightly conveys the truth that the greatest aspiration of a Jesus follower is to become like Jesus. This call and command are ones that Daniel has personally committed to, and he uses much of his and his wife’s story to show the principles of making disciples that will make disciples. —Damian Gerke Leadership Coach and Author One Body Church

I have had the privilege of knowing Daniel Bernard for 20+ years and I must say, he has never wavered in dedication to Jesus and his family. He is an arrow that has never veered off course. Through all kinds of circumstances, good and bad, he has persevered to come out as tried and tested authentic Christian. Sometimes when men of God grow older, their wisdom and the way to apply it is more succinct and applicable. Such is the case in this book. As typical of one of Daniel’s books, it has a prophetic edge. He pulls no punches and tells it like it is. Truth does not just paint over flaws it penetrates them to bring repentance and healing. Plus, in innumerable ways he points to a better path to follow. Daniel has done his homework and the book is well quoted throughout to underscore his main poignant points. The book is a stash of fresh ideas and spotlights men and women who are making a difference in the world. Often spiritual giants are overlooked because they are kingdom builders not looking for worldly attention. This book is full of inspiration and practical ideas to fan the flame of winning the world for Jesus Christ. As the reader you will be very rewarded. And personally, I know as well, that his beautiful wife, Kathy, is a reason for his unfaltering sense of purpose and fruitfulness. Along with Jesus, she is his mainstay of encouragement and unfaltering love. —Dr. Terry Teykl, President Pray for Renewal Ministries

Daniel Bernard has once again pulled on the heart string of God. Jesus commissioned his disciples to make disciples. At our local church, Potter’s House, we have discipled thousands over the years. If you read this book, The Proven Plan, you will be stirred to disciple as many people as you can before the Lord’s return. If you give it a read, you’ll get to work. —Bishop Vaughn McLaughlin Senior Pastor, The Potter’s House Intl Ministries Jacksonville, Florida

My dear friend, Daniel Bernard, has been a proven disciple maker both in the USA and abroad. In this important and practical book, he is giving us vital principles to apply in the church and marketplace to nurture serious mature Christ followers. Since true, authentic discipleship is a rarity in the contemporary church, I cannot overstate how important this book is! I highly endorse it! —Dr. Joseph Mattera Church Planter & Author

Alexander the Great once asserted, “I would not fear an Army of lions if led by a lamb, but I would fear an Army of sheep if led by a Lion.” When I think of that quote, I think of the Lion of Judah leading us, his ‘Roaring Lambs’ into battle, into victory. Sadly, we have seen the Church, the Body of Christ, in some cases grow into these magnificent, and opulent, buildings, but what is the fruit that they are producing? My dear friend, Pastor Daniel Bernard, asks the same question and provides the answers in his book, The Proven Plan. In the military we are trained to focus on our mission, task, and purpose. It is time for the Body of Christ, His Church, to do the same, get back to our fundamentals, our mission as articulated in the Great Commission. If we do such, then we shall have victory in winning over distressed and lost souls to the salvation of Jesus Christ. Then we will grow the Army of Roaring Lambs. I recommend Daniel’s book to those who want to recommit to our Christian mission. —Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (US Army Retired) Former Member, 112th US Congress Former Chairman, Republican Party of Texas

In his newest book, The Proven Plan, Daniel Bernard provides a much needed and refreshing look at Christian discipleship. Using practical wisdom and actionable insights, he offers a solution to the broken pattern of disciple-making displayed in most houses of worship. Pastors and church leaders, you need this book in your ministry toolkit.” —Lucas Miles Pastor and Best-Selling Author Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity
