Imagine for a moment...
You wake up in the same old bed, only to discover everything around you has completely changed. People speak a foreign language. The rules are different. The familiar has been turned upside down. Confused and disoriented, you're determined to make your way through...
That's the way life feels for a new believer as they begin their walk of faith. Though everything looks the same, they feel like aliens. Confronted with traditions and expectations they don't understand, some give up.
In a simple, relaxed style this devotional guidebook for new believers lays the foundation-piece by piece- for the faith-filled life, answering questions like:
* What is the Bible anyway, and why should I read it?
* What is the Old testament and what does it have to do with today?
* How does Jesus fit into my daily life?
* What's the big deal about morality?
* What's in the church for me, and why can't I just go when I feel like it?
A GUIDEBOOK FOR NEW BELIEVERS is the book that a church should put into the hands of new believers-from day one.

New believers will gain a strong understanding of the terms and truths of Christianity.
The book is completely self-contained and demands no extra study skills, nor does it necessitate a mentor. A GUIDEBOOK FOR NEW BELIEVERS requires no lengthy study time. Instead, day-y-day, it builds truth into the lives of those recently transported from "the other kingdom" into God's kingdom.
