Summary: A great book for all Christians especially those in doubt.
Review: A great book for all Christian's especially for those who have any doubt about their salvation or those who cannot answer the question " What exactly do I believe?" The book on tape read by the author is a wonderful classroom tool and study guide. Will prepare all to answer the questions and doubts of unbelievers.

Summary: Good Introduction to Bible Beliefs
Review: A great first book to read on the beliefs of born-again Christians. Using the New International Version, Mr. Little shows where these beliefs are found in the Bible. He avoids beliefs distinctive to any particular Church or denomination, the book is geared to ALL believers.

Summary: Xity for beginners
Review: I first encountered Paul Little's "Know What You Believe" and "Know Why You Believe" about 12-13 years ago. Over the years, I have read many tomes of systematic theology, dogmatics, etc. In fact, I'd thought that I long "out-grew" these "Beginner" books on the Christian faith. Then my wife bought a new edition that contains both books and I read them through again over the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised by the masterful simplicity in Little's presentation of the core truths of Christianity in such a clear, intelligent manner; yet without trivialising the whole thing with needlessly casual anecdotes or the feeling like he's "talking down to you". As a young Christian, I got the feeling that these books were simple apologetics that one used for evangelism and discipleship. On rereading them this round, I found them to be very scholarly works but presented in a very readable format (and believe me, that's quite a feat!). For me on a personal level, it's a return to the basics, the core truths - the vital stuff that makes Christianity so amazing and meaningful in the first place. These two books are modern Christian classics and should be on every Christian's bookshelf. Buy a dozen today and start rereading them and giving them out.

Summary: A Great Book for Seekers and Christians
Review: I think an alternative title could be "Know Why You SHOULD Believe." This is a great book for not only the Christian but anyone wanting to know why they should believe the incredible claims of Christianity. The Author does an excellent job of explaining the faith in a reasonable manner and does it in an easy-to-read format. This is the best book I have found to give to the "seeker" of Truth!

Summary: A Firm Foundation
Review: If you are just beginning as a Christian, this book will help you to get a firm foundation for your faith. It helps you with your Biblical study of your new life. If you are a more mature Christian, this book helps you keep the simplicity of the Christian faith in mind. When you speak with people about our Lord, have this book readily available. It will not do the speaking for you, but will help you to express what the Bible says if you happen to need some help. And I have needed this type of help from time to time. If you are wanting to know what Christianity is about and don't want to go through the Bible yet or talk with a Christian, this book will help you to see what it is that we believe. I had a hard time putting this book down. I keep saying that I would put it down after I finish "just this one part". It helped me to get back to the basics of my belief. I was able to read the Bible with fresh eyes again. A wonderful book to read and great resource to have. I expect that I will need to buy several copies between giving them out and wearing mine out. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Christian Doctrine 101
Review: If you are looking for an explanation of what Christians believe stated in language that anyone can understand, and clearly supported by biblical texts, then this is very likely the book you are looking for. Little writes especially for college students who are seeking to understand the Christian faith; not for professional theologians. His goal is to explain what is central to Christian teaching, that which unites all Christians, not that which divides Christians into different confessions. His gift is clarity and precision. I have used this book ever since it came out over twenty five years ago in teaching basic Christian doctrine in both a local church and college class setting. It is still my preference as an initiation to Christian Doctrine.

Summary: The Fundamentals of the Christian Faith
Review: Know What You Believe is a book that discusses in a practical and helpful way the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It is an invaluable resource, an effective introduction to the basic truths of Christianity; it explores in an in-depth and expository way the fundamental facets of what Christians believe, such as the Bible, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, angels, Satan, demons, mankind, sin, salvation, the church, and future events.
Know What You Believe is a a book that has helped me personally to strengthen my faith in God's truth and to develop an increased interest in the study of the many facets of Christianity. This book is also an excellent resource to share with those who have not committed themselves to the truth and are living for lies. I highly recommend it to Christians and non-Christians alike! 5 stars.
