Here we have a helpful, practical guide, which is particularly written for the new Christian who seeks to grow and mature in their faith. Peter Jeffery starts by outlining what happens when a person becomes a Christian, and explains some key words and expressions such as justification and sanctification. In doing so he clears up some of the misunderstandings associated with those teachings. He then gives the reader guidelines for Bible study, prayer and being part of a local church. Further, he gives advice for dealing with some difficult issues such as coping with trials, temptations and failure in the Christian life. He also looks at being an effective witness for Christ, and knowing how God guides the Christian. The book concludes with some helpful chapters on tricky issues for the Christian, such as handling money, marriage and relationships, and drugs.
This is a book, which is very simply written with short, easy to read chapters. It is primarily for those who have come to a personal faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and will be particularly helpful for new Christians. However, it also has much helpful teaching for those who have been in the faith for some time, and who may be in need of a refresher course!
