Summary: A New Christian's guide to the Faith
Review: Bob Cook does a tremendous job of telling the new Christian all that he/she needs to know in the new life they've chosen. Not only does he give basic scripture passages that will help shape and guide them, he gives practical ways to put their new faith in action. This is a MUST HAVE for the new believer in Jesus - at a time when it is so vital for them to "grow up in Christ."

Summary: Good, Quick Read for New Believers
Review: This book is a good, quick read for new believers. It covers the basics such as regeneration, joy, temptation, Christian conduct, Bible study, prayer, sharing one's faith, life direction, and worldliness. These topics would make good material for a study group of people new to the Christian faith.

I would have given this work five stars, but the format is poor. The Scriptures used are given in their entirety at the end of each chapter, and are difficult to distinguish from the rest of the text. Had Scripture references only been cited within the text, the book would have been much better. Study questions would also have improved this book's usefulness. Still, this book is a great resource to offer to a person who has just been born again into the kingdom of God.
