Where this sits: Trust, where the foundations get laid.
About the book
You said yes to Jesus. Now what?
Something real happened. But nobody handed you a map, and the questions start almost immediately. Who is God, actually? What did Jesus do? What is the Holy Spirit doing in me? How do I read a book as big as the Bible? How do I pray without performing? Why does everyone talk about baptism and communion? Do I really need church?
Now What? is a warm, honest guide for people who have just stepped into faith, and for anyone who wants to start again. It is written the way a friend explains things across a table, not the way a textbook explains them. No jargon. No assumptions. Every term is explained the first time it appears.
What's inside
- Ten short chapters covering who you are now, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, what salvation actually did, how to read the Bible, how to pray, what baptism and communion mean, why you need the church, and how to keep going when the first excitement fades.
- The real questions new believers ask, answered honestly, including the ones people are embarrassed to ask out loud.
- A small practice at the end of every chapter, and a weekly assignment you can actually finish.
- A ten-week Bible reading plan, a two-week devotional to carry you past the last page, a list of who you are in Christ, a glossary of every term used, and discussion questions for one-to-one or small-group use.
Written to be read alone, with a discipler, or in a group. Ten chapters, ten weeks, if you take your time.
"You do not need to understand it all to have been welcomed in. The door was open long before you knocked."
A book to hand someone
If you have just started, this is a book to walk with. If you have been walking a while and want to help someone else start, this is a book to hand them.
It pairs naturally with two others. Come and See is for the person who has not yet said yes, and 15 Minutes is the next step for building a daily rhythm once the foundations are in place.
