Wethair

by Phil Scott

WETHAIR is a departure from the traditional elementary-level what-we-believe studies for new Christ followers. It is a relational conversation between a new believer and a seasoned believer who has shared in the process of helping thousands of new believers get traction for their journey. Many new believers feel overwhelmed, find themselves easily distracted, or sadly duped into shallow promises of success. WETHAIR will toughen you, equip you, and motivate you to never give up. Though in Christ we are forgiven and adopted into the family of God, we will experience wilderness and dark nights of the soul. We will need guidelines in order to examine our lives without being beaten down by regrets. We will learn to shape our testimony as we see God continuing to work in our life. We will evaluate our visible and invisible habits. We will discover how much urgency and energy we are applying to our appetites. We will pursue new avenues for getting involved so that our service makes our faith real, and we will wrap these steps together with daily relentless restlessness. Never lose your Wethair.

Reviews

[Austin Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this book because my dad wrote it. I recommend this book because he addresses new believers (and senior saints, honestly) in an engaging way. His breakdown of the material is far more enriching than a typical "What we believe" new member book. It addresses issues of faith and doctrine (communion, giving, baptism, etc) as examples and illustrations instead of directly launching into dogmatics.
Its readability would have been helped by an editor (hopefully future printings will correct this), but the approach, application, and awareness of a new believer's needs make it a must read.
