Ten Essentials for New Christians
Ebook
You Said Yes to Jesus…Now What?
Committing your life to Jesus Christ is a thrilling experience filled with hope, purpose, and possibilities. But for many new Christians, saying yes to Jesus is quickly followed by the most important question of all: What do I do now?
Ten Essentials for New Christians provides you, as a new believer, with clear and enriching next steps in your journey with Jesus. As authors Stan Jantz and Bruce Bickel share what the Bible says about God’s love for you, they help you understand the life God wants you to live, both before him and with others. Far from being a dry instruction manual or rigid formula, Ten Essentials for New Christians is a casual and engaging conversation about God’s profound love and its bearing on your life.
Whether you are brand new to the faith or you desire to make a more earnest commitment to living in Christlikeness, you will find encouragement and direction in this straightforward guide. Like a new tree freshly planted, your faith will grow stronger as your roots sink deep into the soil of God’s abundant love.
“A new believer needs the church to help in order to grow in sanctification and service. In Ten Essentials for New Christians, you will find a remarkable guide to help new believers in their journey. This gospel-rich, church-focused resource is a must for churches seeking to reach and disciple people.”
—Ed Stetzer, PhD; dean at Talbot School of Theology
“Have you recently become a Christian? Or are you trying to help new believers grow? Then this book is for you. It helpfully clarifies key truths, warmly encourages you to grow in your faith, and honestly addresses questions you may have been afraid to ask.”
—Christopher W. Morgan, dean and professor of theology at California Baptist University; author/editor of more than 25 books
“Ten Essentials for New Christians is hardly just another ‘essentials of the faith’ book. Instead, Stan and Bruce offer us an outlook where everything is steeped in the incomprehensible love God has for us. Their book is timely in an era where being right tragically outpaces showing love. I cannot recommend this book enough.”
—Bryan Loritts, teaching pastor at The Summit Church, NC; author of The Offensive Church
“The essence of the Christian faith is God’s love expressed through Jesus. Stan and Bruce invite new believers to allow God’s love to transform their hearts and impact every aspect of their new lives. This book will help you find life in Jesus, love your neighbors, and help others to do the same.”
—Kevin A. Thompson, married life pastor at Bayside Church, CA
“No one lives well, loves well, or leads well until they think well. Stan and Bruce help new believers think properly about Jesus so that they can unleash the compassion of Jesus in every aspect of their lives. Every new believer needs this book.”
—Ray Johnston, founding pastor of Bayside Church, CA
