Laying the Foundation

I have started a disciplship class in our church and have found this book to be of great value. When you become born again as the bible offers us to do so, there are steps that need to be implemented in order to reach or strive to mature in your walk with Christ. I highly recommend this book to those who want a better understanding of what it means to lay the foundation of Jesus Christ in your hearts. Laying The Foundation: Achieving Christian Maturity

20 years ago, my pastor understood the need for a Christian to get a solid biblical foundation. This book was a required course for all new believers. It was even recommended to those who had been saved a while, but had never received formal training in the elementary truths. All these years later, I now see how effectively this material has served in my walk with God and my understanding of what that should look like. In my opinion, this book is a time-tested resource for all Christians.

Laying the Foundation is an excellent textbook for use in establishing a strong nonpartisan biblical foundation. It is an effective tool to use as a Christian High School Bible Program as well as an excellent First year College Bible text. Our churches use this book as a New-Converts course certifying Confirmation. The versatility of this book is boundless. Its midian position leaves opportunity for the teacher to elaborate points needing emphase. It is an excellent for resource for lecture encouraging open discussion. Biblical facts are systematically layed like bricks for a wall. The eternal benefit can be measured by the calming emotional peace felt in the soul. This book covers: Repentance and Abandoning Deadworks, Faith towards God, Doctrines of Baptisms, Laying on of Hands, Resurrection of the Dead, and Eternal Judgment in a thorough non-threatening manner. Every member of the body of Christ could benefit from this book. This is a book reading again and again. We need to know what we believe.

I read this book 18 years ago as a new Christian and found that through the years it has served me and the Christian community well. It teaches us the "fundamentals" of Christianity clearly and I still use it as a reference source frequently. It's great for a "new believers course". It truly lives up to its title because a solid christain foundation is imparted into a persons life--a foundation that will stand up against the stresses of this life. Highly recommended.
