”The most engaging discipleship material I have ever had the pleasure to read. It is written with theological precision and amazing clarity. The intertwining of propositional truth with an entertaining narrative enhances its readability. It will be a wonderful help for the sceptic, the seeker, and the believer. I hope that the authors have an eye to writing further volumes on equally essential topics of the Christian faith. They are most needed!“Paul Washer(Founder and Missions Director, Heart Cry Ministry, Radford, Virginia)”It is so refreshing to read such a practical book with such vivid illustrations on such a complex topic. This should be mandatory reading for all seminary students!“Ed Moore(Head Pastor, North Shore Baptist Church Bayside, New York)”Christian Focus Publications, 20Schemes and9Marks are to be congratulated on their collaboration on the First Steps series as they take seriously the challenge of preparing materials designed to equip those from an unchurched background as they begin their Christian life.“Hector Morrison(Principal, Highland Theological College, Dingwall)”… short and sweet.Profoundly simple, incredibly insightful, and comprehensively concise. I can’t think of a better starting point for anyone beginning their Christian journey(or refreshing the foundations) than this resource on trusting the Bible! I look forward to using this book for years to come.“John Onwuchekwa(Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Atlanta, Georgia)
