New Believer's Guide to Effective Christian Living

Greg Laurie Β· 2002
74/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Greg Laurie has spent decades walking new believers through exactly these questions, and that pastoral experience shows in how clearly and practically this is laid out. For someone who has just come to faith in an evangelical context and needs a sensible first-steps guide, this does the job well. It is brief enough that depth is limited, and readers from other Christian traditions may find the evangelical frame a bit narrow.
