This book seeks to help ensure that new converts to the Lord Jesus Christ are built up in the faith, for it is not God's intention that we remain spiritual 'babes'. There is a depth to the Gospel that is not appreciated when we first come to Christ, and believers need to develop their understanding in order to become 'established' (see Rom. 1: 11). Why is this building up so vital? Because it feeds into both our witness and our worship! The doctrines that underpin the Gospel are explored here in some depth, but the book is really only a 'taster' as the field is wide and extensive. If the reader is thereby stimulated to study the Scriptures, then the prayer of the compiler will have been answered. For ordering and current prices please go to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com.
