Basics for Believers #1

by Bill Thrasher, Alistair Begg (Foreword), William L. Thrasher Jr.

Just as athletes must master certain physical skills to dominate their sport, Christians must master certain basic principles of the faith to reach spiritual maturity. But because many of us don't have a good grasp of the fundamentals, we find our spiritual lives stagnant. With 54 brief topical discussions, Basics for Believers includes subjects like the Trinity, life goals, worship, budgeting and evangelism, making the basics of Christianity accessible and understandable for everyone.
