Description / Abstract

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDENT
You are now a Christian. You need to learn to grow as a Christian. You will study eight lessons about growing as a Christian.
Study each lesson on your own. Read the Bible. Answer the questions the best you can. Then, meet with your teacher or pastor. They will help you. They will answer the questions you do not know. They will help you understand the lessons.
You will find a Bible memory verse in each lesson. You should learn these verses. Memorize them. These verses will help you grow as a Christian.
Sometimes, you will see words printed in darker letters, like this. These are words or phrases that may not be familiar to you. At the end of each lesson, you will find the word list with short definitions.
God loves you very much. He wants to be your God. He wants you to learn about him. You can talk to God. You can ask him to help you. He will help you understand. He will help you learn.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TEACHER
Give this book to a new Christian at the time of his or her conversion, or as soon as possible. Encourage the person to read the lessons and answer the questions the best he or she can. Ask the person to work on only one lesson at a time. Try to schedule a time every week to meet with the student to discuss the lesson.
If the student cannot read the lesson independently, schedule a time when you can read and discuss the lessons together. While it is preferable to schedule only one lesson at a time, it may be necessary to take more than one session with each lesson. Help the student in looking up the scriptures in the Bible. Answer the questions together, making certain the student understands the material before moving to the next lesson. (Possible answers can be found in the Appendix.)
