Your First Steps in Walking With God is a powerful, practical, and heart-steadying guide for every new believer—and for every Christian ready to begin again with fresh clarity, renewed strength, and deeper understanding. Whether you have just surrendered your life to Christ or are returning after a season of struggle, this book will walk with you, one step at a time, into the life God always intended for you to live.
So many believers begin their journey with excitement, only to lose momentum when the realities of life, temptation, confusion, or unanswered questions set in. Others never truly grow because no one showed them how to walk with God—how to pray, how to hear His voice, how to read the Bible with meaning, how to overcome guilt, fear, and frustration, or how to stand firm when life shakes them. This book changes that.
With simple, biblical, and deeply encouraging guidance, James Langston lays out the essential foundations of Christian living in clear, conversational language that meets you right where you are. Each chapter focuses on one key step in spiritual growth—Salvation, the Holy Spirit, Prayer, Forgiveness, Worship, Obedience, Community, Generosity, Purpose, and more—explaining not only what these truths mean but how to actually live them every day.
Through relatable stories, devotional insights, Scripture-rich teaching, and reflection questions designed to help you grow, you will learn how
• Build a solid foundation on the unshakeable promises of God • Develop a daily walk with Christ that is real, personal, and life-changing • Recognize God’s voice in your heart and decisions • Turn struggles into spiritual strength instead of frustration • Overcome guilt, shame, fear, and the weight of your past • Pray with confidence and expectation • Walk in the power, comfort, and direction of the Holy Spirit • Forgive others—and yourself—with freedom and grace • Understand God’s purpose for your life and pursue it boldly • Live as a disciple who grows, matures, and multiplies
You will not simply read about walking with God—you will experience it.
This book is intentionally crafted for new believers, young Christians, returning believers, discipleship groups, churches, and anyone hungry for a deeper, steadier, more meaningful relationship with God. Every chapter builds gently upon the last, helping you grow from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity, symbolized in this book by the journey from crawling to walking to standing strong in Christ.
