Because more and more people who come to genuine faith in Christ have little or no Christian background, it is becoming more and more important to orientate them to Christian life and thought. What is needed is something of a cross between a gentle introduction to basic Christian belief and a ‘how-to’ manual. This book is it.
I have been a Christian for sixty years, and I benefited from this book for beginners, and loved being challenged and encouraged by it. I wish I had been given it when I started out, but it would be worth reading at any stage.
If there is one profound yet simple book to read that will help you watch your life and doctrine closely, this is it. Gary Millar has written an engaging, Bible-saturated and Christ-exalting guide to the gospel-shaped life, which he clearly lives.
I was looking for a book to share with others new to their faith in Christ. This book drew me in right away, not just for others but for myself. It is thorough, concise, clear, true to the gospel, and engaging. I would recommend this book for anyone, old or new to the Christian faith, as well as those exploring. It always left me wanting to read more. 6 short chapters, recommended resources, and mentoring questions make this an accessible and helpful tool for use in groups or one-to-one discipleship.
