Understanding The Basics of the Faith Things Every New Christian Should Know

Understanding the Basics of the Faith is like systematic theology for the new Christian. It has an easy to understand workbook-like format and is full of easy to understand graphics to make concepts easy to grasp. You will find answers to questions such as: How do I know when I am ready to be baptized? What does it mean to be "saved"? What does "spirit-filled" mean? How should I handle suffering? Is it really necessary to go church? How should I pray? How do we know when the end is near? I'm a Christian, but what about my family? And more... Each chapter includes a brief review of fundamental points so that the reader is clear on essential doctrine. This resource does not claim to exhaustively study the core beliefs. It is rather a "quick start" guide--A simple to read text. The new Christian will finish this book with a clear, general understanding of what Christians believe and will be able to articulate those beliefs. The reader is also challenged to ask self-exploring questions to deepen his or her understanding of self and increase his or her dependency on Christ. It is an excellent resource for individual or small group study or as a reference guide. It is a must have for every new member of your local assembly.
