This book teaches the basics of the Christian faith, looking first at what Jesus himself taught, and then at what his apostles had to say. It is for anyone who wants to follow Jesus, but is not sure or would like to be reminded of the way.
In short clear steps, Dr Peter Walker takes us through the basics of enjoying Jesus‘ forgiveness, welcoming his Spirit and feeding on his scriptures; then explores the principles of worshipping with his people, following his teaching and trusting him with our future.
This classic of the field has been revised and is accompanied by access to an online PDF workbook and video content.
