What Every Christian Ought to Know: Essential Truths for Growing Your Faith

I cannot rave enough about this book. This is definitely a book every Christian should own, and keep beside his Bible and refer back to it often. I have purchased 7 of these books for family and friends. I am presently reading it for the second time. It is an easy read, but with mega insights. It is for the new Christian as well as the long-time Christian. Truly, a Must Read!

If you want to have a Christian life that reflects how Christ intended us to live this is the pattern to follow.

Saw this book on the shelf at a local bookstore after Dr. Rodgers had passed from this physical life to the next. Realized it was a book written after he retired shortly before he died of colon cancer and was curious what nuggets of wisdom he would share. Started reading it about 3 weeks ago on the outbound leg of a business trip, GOD had plans to put it in someone else's hand, so I have now purchased it twice, and worth every penny. This book, although not too deep theologically, touches on some very tough questions which young and mature Christians alike struggle with. Dr. Rogers explains them in ways that anyone can understand and backs them up with both experiential and biblical evidence. He starts by building an essential foundation for belief in the bible based on historical, biblical and scientific sources and then shares 11 other essentials that all Christians need to know to mature and grow. If you are exploring Christianity, this book is for you! If you are not sure of your salvation, this book is for you! If you are sure of your salvation and want to nurture and grow your faith, this book is for you! If you are a mature Christian looking for a solid book to pass on or recommend to those that you are mentoring, this book is for you! Dr. Rodgers Ministry was and is titled " A Love Worth Finding", well this book is a book worth reading. I will be purchasing many other copies.

"What Every Christian Ought To Know" is great for small groups. This is our second group to take through this study and how very helpful it is. It not only takes every believer past the basics of faith and the Christian life, but also helps each person understand some deeper principles of doctrine. It has been and will continue to be a staple for our small group studies.

I am a pastor, and sometimes I start getting into the really deep theological parts of the Bible, and my wife reels me back in. This book is an example of that. Pastor Rogers takes deep theological positions such as assurance and eternal security and really helps the reader understand his position. You may not agree with all he has to say, but his way of simplifying God's Word for new believers is powerful. I plan to purchase this book as a gift for some of my friends in the church who are new in their Christian walk. I am glad my wife bought the book...and she wishes I would give it back!
